The Assam Government on June 4 refuted allegations by a section of the media that Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's family was involved in alleged malpractices in the supply of PPE kits during the pandemic.
Government spokesman Pijush Hazarika said there was no scam in the supply of PPE kits and no member of the chief minister's family were involved in the supply of any material related to the COVID pandemic.
The allegations are ''false, imaginary, malicious and can be attributed as the handiwork of a certain section with vested interests,'' Mr. Hazarika, who is also the state's minister for water resources and information and public relations told reporters here.
