The agreement will be signed in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma as well as about a dozen top ULFA leaders.
In the last four years, peace agreements have been signed with tribal militant groups, Bodo militant groups, and Karbi and Dimasa groups in Assam itself. According to highly placed sources, the peace agreement covers several political and economic issues along with securing the land rights of Assam's culture and indigenous people. Top ULFA (Rajkhowa faction) leaders Anup Chetia and Sashadhar Chaudhary are in Delhi for the last week to finalize the agreement.
