Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has issued a show-cause notice to Tea Tribes and Employment Minister Sanjay Kishan for apologising to chief of separatist organisation United Liberation Front of Asom (Independent) (ULFA-I) Paresh Baruah.
Mr. Kishan had said sorry to the ULFA(I) chief for calling him a liar. The CM asked the Minister to explain why he apologised to Baruah.
The ULFA(I) had on May 16 asked Mr. Kishan to either apologise for his "disparaging" remark within 24 hours or be "banned" from entering eastern Assam's Dibrugarh and Tinsukia districts.
