People came out in large numbers ignoring the 12-hour Assam bandh called by the Paresh Barua led ULFA anti-talk faction to protest the PM’s visit. He said, the Congress government is ready to talk to all prepared to leave the path of violence and negotiate. The Prime Minister congratulated the people for thwarting the attempt of forces attempting to destroy peace and harmony in the state.
