OKRAJHAR: Kamtapur Liberation Organization (KLO) zonal commander Dhananjay Barman, who is now in police custody, has appealed to the Centre for
initiating peace talks with the outfit.
Barman said this while speaking to the media in Kokrajhar on Wednesday. The militant leader, who was arrested along with his wife in Kokrajhar on August 30, told the Centre he would bring KLO chairman Jibon Singha to the negotiating table if talks were held. "I am talking to the media for the first time. I am appealing to the Centre to give us a chance to join the peace process. We want tripartite talks with the state government and Centre and our main issue would be "jatisatta", Barman said.
On Wednesday, a West Bengal Police team led by Coochbehar OC Bimal Kumar Mandal took Barman into custody. The KLO commander, who allegedly masterminded the blast on a passenger train at Belakoba in North Bengal's Jalpaguri district in 2006, is wanted in several cases.
The KLO commander said there was a close nexus among militant outfits from the North-East based in Bangladesh and that leaders of these groups often met to make strategies. He added that NDFB chairman Ranjan Daimary frequently met KLO chairman Jibon Singha. "Daimary met our chairman quite often. Ulfa chairman Aurabinda Rajkhowa also visited Singha," he said.
Barman said he used to help leaders of other outfits in co-ordinating intra-organization work. "We have also taken help from Tripuri militants led by Ranjit Dev Barman," he added. Talking about his hideout in Kokrajhar, Barman said, "I got shelter due to the help of some Rajbangshi youths belonging to our outfit."
