The main issues which were discussed during the meeting were political safeguards for the indigenous people and control over the economic resources of Assam, said sources.
The Centre has held a discussion with the pro-talks faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom in an attempt to find a solution to the decades-old insurgency problem in the state.
Senior officers of the Union Home Ministry and the Intelligence Bureau held a dialogue with a delegation of the ULFA, comprising its 'chairman' Arabinda Rajkhowa, 'general secretary' Anup Chetia and leaders Raju Baruah and Sasha Choudhury.
Sources said the talks were held in New Delhi on Thursday and Friday and all of ULFA's demands were discussed. The negotiations were on the 12-point charter of demands that the group had submitted to the Centre's interlocutor in 2011.
