Mukul’s allegation of ANVC-B links with Pak-based ISI
SHILLONG: The National People’s Party (NPP) has asked Chief Minister Mukul Sangma to immediately ask the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to probe into his recent allegations that ANVC-B was having links with Pakistan-based ISI.
In a statement issued here on Thursday, NPP spokesperson James Sangma said that the allegation made by the Chief Minister, which is of an extremely serious nature, bears significance since he is the executive head of the State and is privy to intelligence reports due to which the veracity of this allegation cannot be contested.
“If these statements are based on irrefutable and reliable intelligence inputs and if the Chief Minister is really and genuinely concerned about such links, then he should immediately ask the NIA to investigate into the matter so that appropriate action can be taken,” James stated.
He also added that the matter is of grave nature involving national security and the State security agencies are not equipped adequately and therefore cannot deal with it.
It is noteworthy that Chief Minister Mukul Sangma had, last week, slammed the ANVC-B for their continued illegal activities while stating that the outfit’s links with Pakistan-based terror promoter ISI and other agencies cannot be ruled out.
