20 jehadi groups out in Asom with an
Islamic state blueprint
By a Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, June 8: Over the last 28 years, the ULFA has been
waging a war against the Government. In its armed struggle,
the rebel group killed many innocent people and damaged
property worth crores of rupees. This is indeed a huge loss
for Asom and its people, but the heavier loss than this is
that over 20 jehadi groups have been allowed to spread their
tentacles in the State during this period. The jehadi groups
have been carrying out subversive activities in the State,
including its capital, besides provoking the youths against
India. According to intelligence sources, these jehadi
organizations, with active support from the ULFA, have been
acting in the State and the region in accordance with an ISI
blueprint for an Islamic state comprising a vast area of
Asom.
According to intelligence reports, over 20 jehadi groups,
including Adam Sena, Muslim Tigers’ Force, Revolutionary
Muslim Commandos, United Muslim Front of Assam, Islamic
United Reformation Movement of India, Islamic Sevak Sangha,
Muslim Security Force, Muslim Liberation Army of Assam,
United Liberation Militia of Assam, Muslim Security Council
of Assam, Muslim United Liberation Front of Assam,
Harkat-ul-Mujahidee n, Harkat-ul-Jehad and People’s United
Liberation Front, have been active in Asom.
Activists of these organizations, intelligence sources
claimed, have been taking shelter in border areas, madrassas,
masjids, sar areas and other religious minority-dominated
areas in the State, and provoking youths against India.
“These organizations recruit local youths and send them for
arms training to foreign countries,” the sources said, and
added: “With the change of guard in Bangladesh, ULFA leaders
who have taken shelter in that country, including ‘c-in-c’
Paresh Baruah, were forced to back the Islamic state
blueprint prepared by Pakistan’s ISI and Bangladesh’s DGFI.
The mysterious silence of ULFA leaders on burning issues
like unchecked infiltration from Bangladesh and expulsion of
Bangladeshis from Asom is a glaring example of ULFA going
soft on jehadi groups sponsored by forces based in
Bangladesh”.
Reiterating their revelations that ULFA ‘c-in-c’ Paresh
Baruah converted to Islam under the name Karuj Zaman Khan,
got married to one Sufia Begum and had two children —
Tahshim Khan and Akash Khan — the sources said that the
grassroots-level workers of the ULFA were ignorant of their
top brass having supported the Islamic nation formula.
Sources further said that with the local Asomiya youths
distancing themselves from the activities and ideology of
the ULFA, the rebel group is now required to rely more on
jehadis, both for manpower and arms.
The sources further said that jehadi elements had supplied
the bombs that were triggered in the city recently. The ULFA
militants who triggered the blasts, according to sources,
have been identified as Pal, Rathim, Mukesh, Hemanta
Rajbongshi and Akash Thapa.
