Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday called on the centre to ban Amnesty International from operating in India, accusing it of conspiring to "defame PM Modi".
The Chief Minister claimed Amnesty - one of the world's most recognised human rights advocates - had a "long history of hatching conspiracies against India's democratic fabric and its leadership."
"I strongly condemn this conspiracy and demand a ban on activities of such organisations which are hell-bent on defaming and harming our nation," he declared.
"We all know the role Amnesty (plays) to encourage left-wing terrorism in India and defame India and PM Modi... it is an international conspiracy... Their main work is to create dissatisfaction among the sections of Indian society," Mr Sarma said.
