VK Singh advised me payments to insurgents : Tarun Gogoi
He made the startling allegation in an interview to a national daily
Singh is presently the minister of state for external affairs in the NDA government.
"What advice is the question...some financial payments. How could I give it? His advice was not to deal firmly (with insurgents). His advice was different," Gogoi said.
He said he had refused to accept the advice.
"Wild suggestions but I didn't want it. Frankly, he suggested that they can be bought back…Nobody can be bought. What's the use of giving it ? Now he will deny…that’s why I am not talking about the financial part …" Gogoi said in his interview.
