Ulfa (I) then talks about the recent Galwan valley encounter and accuses that due to the Indian Govt's lapses more than 20 soldiers have died. They have also accused that the Indian government should have resorted to diplomacy instead of aggression, which has led to the Chinese to respond.

After that it has raised the issue of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), 1958 is an act of the Parliament of India that grant special powers to the Indian Armed Forces the power to maintain public order in “disturbed areas”. They have also accused the use of state forced to exploit the resources of Assam such as coal and natural gas.

The issue of the rising cases of the pandemic in Assam was also talked about. In that, they have directly given the responsibility to Narendra Modi who they allege have failed to contain the spread of the disease.

Ulfa (I) has previously taken out such statements against the Indian government. But, this is the first time, they openly made such remarks showing sympathy towards the Chinese. Does it indicate, the insurgent group's backing from China?
