Imphal, April 09 2017:
MLA of Jiribam Assembly Constituency Md Ashab Uddin who is also the Parliamentary Secretary (Minority & MOBC and Commerce & Industries) has rebuffed the reports published in some dailies that he has connection with big drug businessmen.
Addressing a press meet held at Hotel Bheigo here today, MLA Ashab Uddin clarified that the reports were published while he was out of station for three days for attending a training programme on Parliamentary practice.
He said that a Bengali newspaper based in Silchar first carried out the reports followed by other dailies in Imphal.
Terming the reports as baseless and concocted, he suspected the reports as an attempt to malign his political career.
The MLA said that a felicitation function was organised by Zilla Parishad and Pradhans of New Ram Nagar under Sonai AC in Cachar district to welcome him.
Legal action will be sought against those newspapers if they do not clarify the reports at the earliest, cautioned MLA Ashab Uddin who was elected from Jiribam AC as an Independent candidate in the 11th State Assembly election.
