ULFA has mourned the death of Assam's cultural icon Bhupen Hazarika and its anti-talk faction will ask all cadres to abjure violence as a mark of respect.
"We are holding a special meeting to mourn the death of our Dada (elder brother)," ULFA anti-talk faction chief and commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah said in an e-mail in Guwahati.
"Bhupen Da made immense contribution to our cultural heritage and so we mourn his death," he said.
Without mentioning the venue of the condolence meeting, Baruah said ULFA cadres observed a minute's silence in the memory of the departed soul.
