China has reportedly agreed to help India catch Paresh Baruah, the commander-in-chief of the United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent). Baruah is said to be in hiding in the Tengchong area of China's western Yunnan province.
According to this Guwahati-datelined report in The Asian Age, top-ranking intelligence officials of China gave this assurance to India's Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) chairman R N Ravi at the first high-level dialogue to combat terror, held between the two countries at Beijing on 29 September. Wang Yongqing, the secretary general of Chinese Communist Party's Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, who headed the Chinese delegation at the talks, requested Ravi to send Indian spotters over to China to help the Chinese identify Baruah.
The two sides also agreed to put in place a joint mechanism for exchanging real time intelligence on movement of militants across the India-China border. The question, though, is simple: can we trust the Chinese to give up Paresh Baruah?
