The minister told the Lok Sabha that there was no evidence of such a link among the Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) of Pakistan, the Maoists and the northeast rebels.

“However, there is evidence of a nexus between the Maoists and certain insurgent groups of the northeast,” he said. “The government is closely monitoring the situation.”
