United Liberation Front of Asom chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, who was arrested over two months ago, on Saturday said his outfit was not keen on peace talks but wanted to resolve long-drawn contentious political issues through negotiations.

"I do not want peace talks, but want talks to resolve the problems facing the state," Rajkhowa told reporters at the Regional Dental College Hospital, where he was brought for treatment today afternoon.

"People will not be kept in the dark on the issue of talks and they will be the first to be taken into confidence when the time comes," the ULFA chief said, adding, "We will call you and talk about it".

"I don't want to say anything more as things may get complicated. We don't want to complicate the situation," Rajkhowa said when asked about the ULFA's demand for sovereignty.

He also refused to comment when asked whether talks could be held without ULFA commander-in-chief Paresh Barua.
