Gogoi sees Naxals’ links with NE rebels

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Wednesday said that the Maoists have close links with all insurgent groups operating in the northeast including the ULFA. Talking to reporters in Delhi, Gogoi said that his government has enough evidence that both the groups have close links. He said, "be it ULFA, be it NSCN-IM or be it PLA, every one has close links with Maoists."

His statement assumes significance a few days after Union home minister had said that he has no evidence to prove CPI-Maoists' links with the Paresh Baruah-led ULFA faction.
