The outfit further took potshots at the CM Dr Mukul Sangma accusing him of not being a peace lover.<br /> <br /> “Mukul Sangma, who came to power on the promise of bringing peace and development to the State, is currently not popular amongst his colleagues. Now, everyone knows that he is not a peace lover but a killer. His colleagues were right in accusing him of ignoring to invite all militant groups operating in Garo Hills for peace talks”, said Marak in a release yesterday.<br /> <br /> Savio said the opportunity created by the CM for all those who want to come overground would not serve the purpose of a new Garoland State. “The State Government had adopted a strategy to create an opportunity for members of militant outfits to take advantage of the government’s offer to come overground and benefit from the rehabilitation package. But, how can an organisation like us just jump in just for a package or surprises when our goal is clearly for Garoland”.<br /> <br /> Marak said that the GNLA did not understand why the CM was still adamant on the subject of Garoland when all groups have a similar objective and want to come overground. “He is instead finding ways to aggravate the situation in Garo Hills by bringing in more forces to hunt down militants and by intensifying operations. Offering peace at the front and backstabbing by operations shows his insincerity in bringing about peace”.<br /> <br /> The GNLA reiterated that it stood by its demand for a separate Garoland State and would not come to talks without it. He warned, “We will never come and surrender and the government should not expect us to come to talk unconditionally. We will stick to our demand for Garoland and our armed struggle for this cause will continue till it is achieved”.<br /> <br /> Source: Assam Tribune<br />
