Miliki Baruah, the octogenarian mother of Ulfa commander-in-chief Paresh Baruah passed away at her residence in Upper Assam’s Dibrugarh district on Thursday morning.
88-year-old Miliki Baruah had been suffering from age related ailments for past one month. She had been living with one of her sons at her native residence at Jeraigaon near Chabua in the district.
Miliki Baruah had in the past several times appealed the Assam Government as well as the Government of India to take steps for finding a honourable settlement to the problem of Ulfa by engaging the leaders in meaningful dialogue.
last month, Baruah had refused a financial assistance from Assam Government and requested Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi to spend the amount, Rs1 lakh for the benefit of flood affected people in the state.
The Assam Government offered Rs1 lakh for her treatment and also offered to give safe passage to Paresh Baruah on humanitarian ground if her desires to see his mother.
Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has condoled the death of Baruah, a known social worker in the area.
