    Frustrated by their failure to carry out largescale subversive
    activities, Pakistan's ISI is reported to have established contact
    with banned Northeast groups and have hired their activists to create
    unrest in different parts of the country, including in Jammu and
    Kashmir.
    
    This was disclosed here on Monday when a hardcore United Liberation
    Front of Asom militant Saurav Kakoti alias Bolin Mech, along with nine
    others deserted the outfit in protest against its pro-Pakistan
    posture.
    
    Kakoti, who joined the Ulfa in 1997 after receiving arms training in
    Bangladesh, has also revealed the sinister designs, of Ulfa leadership
    in nexus with ISI.  In a press statement on Monday, he said:  "I,
    along with nine other cadres were sent to Bhutan for specialised arms
    training following which they would be sent to Pakistan-Occupied
    Kashmir to help the Pakistani Army in their right against the Indian
    Army."
    
    He disclosed that many cadres of the outfit, who are highly perturbed
    over the pro-Pakistan and dictatorial attitude of the top brass are
    also, contemplating leaving Ulfa soon.
    
    Banned Ulfa extended support to the Pakistani, intruders in Kargil by
    describing them as the "freedom fighters" of Jammu and Kashmir.
    
    Inspired by the sacrifices of the Assamese soldiers while fighting
    against Pakistan's intrusion in the Kargil sector, Kakoti said that he
    left the outfit after being told that he had to join the team of Ulfa
    militants scheduled to leave for Jammu and Kashmir to create unrest. 
    "I decided to desert the Ulfa after knowing the sinister design of the
    leadership to throw us against our own people," he added.
    
    The Ulfa deserter, in a grief-stricken note, said that he was
    impressed by the heroic sacrifice of Kajol Bhowmik, Uddhb Das and
    Capt.  Jintu Gogoi who laid down their lives for the nation in the
    Kargil-Dras sector while fighting against the Pakistani intruders.
    
    "I have decided to desert the outfit as it miserably failed to serve
    any purpose other than engaging itself in blood bath, killing its own
    people," he said.
    
    Kakoti has established contact with the Assam police and believed to
    have revealed sensational information about the future plans of the
    Ulfa and its nexus with the ISI.
    
    When contacted a senior police officer confirmed the report, however,
    declined to disclose any information in this regard.
    
    Resident of Naharkatia village in 1Jpper Assam's Dibrugarh district,
    Kakoti was the member of self-styled 28th battalion of the Ulfa.
    
    Meanwhile, Assam home department sources indicated that the militants,
    who deserted the Ulfa, have expressed their willingness to voluntarily
    join the mainstream.
