The self-styled commander in chief of ULFA Paresh Baruah has imposed a ban on the celebration of Independence Day and Republic Day and any reportage of it in the name of its �revolution against occupation of Assam by Indian state�.
The organisation also issues threats to journalists and intellectuals of the state who dare to oppose the diktat of the outlawed outfit headed by him.
The Journalists� Forum, Assam, has condemned the �callous and irresponsible comments� of the ULFA chief and has observed that not only ULFA but a section of the separatist elements in the region have made it a habit to impose a ban on the celebration of both the days.
