After being in judicial custody since 2003, ULFA ideologue and 'political advisor' Bhimkanta Buragohain was on Friday granted bail by a district court, a step seen as another effort to broker peace with the group fighting for a 'sovereign' state.
The banned Assam-based militant outfit ULFA on Wednesday rejected Union Home Minister P Chidambaram's offer for peace talks echoing their chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa's stand "no peace talks with ULFA leaders in jail".
