Guwahati, Sep 28 (IANS) A civil society group chosen by the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) to carry talks with New Delhi Wednesday backed out of the process blaming the latter for trying to seek a military solution to the insurgency problem in Assam.

"We are pulling out of the peace process and shall not continue any further parleys with the Indian government due to New Delhi's double standards on the issue of solving the conflict in Assam," Arup Barbora, spokesman of the People's Consultative Group (PCG) told reporters here.

The 11-member PCG was nominated by the ULFA to begin exploratory talks with the Indian government in September last year aimed at ending nearly three decades of insurgency in Assam.

The PCG had held three rounds of peace talks with New Delhi - the first round chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in October.
