Paresh Baruah ( Assamese: পৰেশ বৰুৱা ), also known by his alias Paresh Asom, ULFA, which is seeking Independence for Assam from the Indian Union. He is the vice-chairperson and the commander-in-chief of the United Liberation Front of Assam – Independent (ULFA – I). He is currently residing in his safe haven in Myanmar.
Baruah has ruled out negotiations with the government of India without addressing the question of Independence for Assam, and described the peace talks between the pro-talk faction with the Indian government as a sell-out by Ulfa chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa and other leaders.
Baruah lives in Yunnan, China where he receives funding and patronage from MSS. He has also insisted that Han Chinese are friends of the Assamese and want to help them become independent, even though his influence has largely diminished.
The Union Home Secretary of India has said that Baruah’s family is not desirous to return to India, because of their stiff attitude. A collaborator of Baruah has said that two aides of Arabinda Rajkhowa were sent to Bangladesh to convince his and Anup Chetia ’s family to come back to India.
