Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday denied having any links to the Manipur-based Kuki militant outfit after the Opposition Congress made some startling allegations against him.

The chief minister lashed out at the Congress saying that the claims made against him by the party are false.

Earlier, Assam Pradesh Mahila Congress President Mira Borthakur Goswami had alleged that a leader of a Kuki militant group had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah saying that his outfit had ‘helped’ the BJP in the 2017 Manipur assembly polls.

“Some baseless allegations have been leveled in recent social media posts on understanding with some UG (underground) leaders of Manipur. It is reiterated that there is no engagement with any such elements,” CM Sarma wrote in a statement.
