Participating in a public meeting in Nagaon, the ULFAleader said that due to the ongoing issue regarding Clause VI of Assam Accord,their talk with the Centre is expected to last few more months rather thanending within two months.
"We want to ensure constitutional safeguards and landrights for the indigenous people of Assam," said Chetia.
