Pakistan’s ISI is backing Maoists and insurgent outfits in Assam and other northeastern states to expand its activities, Indian Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said on Sunday after a meeting wit Home Minister P Chidambaram. The two met for a law and order review at the Raj Bhavan, according to Indian press reports. “The home minister mainly discussed insurgency-related issues. Militant outfits of the northeast have now united due to their reduced strength and the ISI is trying to back the militant outfits and Maoists in spreading their network and activity in Assam,” Gogoi claimed. He said the meeting also discussed strategy on how to tackle the activity of militants.
