Chinese officials have refuted allegations of the country's army assisting militants in northeast India, saying such charges are "absurd' and such a linkage is "impossible".


Any claim that People's Liberation Army (PLA) officers may be in touch with the leaders of an insurgent group -- Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) -- suspected to have been involved in a recent attack on Indian troops is "absurd', state-run Global Times reported quoting officials of the government-run think-tanks.


Experts believe that the existence of ties between the PLA and Indian militants is impossible, the report said. Earlier, reports in Indian media quoted a senior Indian official as saying that NSCN-K abrogated its ceasefire pact with the Centre following instructions from PLA. Chinese Foreign Ministry has not commented on the allegations so far.
