The Centre on Tuesday said insurgent groups in the Northeastern states receive logistics support and training from Pakistan’s intelligence organisation, ISI.
In a written reply to Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Home Affairs Radhika V Selvi said the Centre receives inputs about ISI involvement in the Northeastern states from time to time.
“Inputs received from time to time indicate that some underground/insurgent groups operating in the Northeastern states have links with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and that the ISI is providing assistance to them by way of logistic support and training etc,” she said.
With regard to the question about the total number of ISI agents arrested in the region during the last three years, she said one ISI operative was arrested for espionage in Assam in 2005 along with five persons suspected to be accomplices.
