The ULFA-I in its statement had also sought an apology from the minister within 24 hours or else they (ULFA-I) would ban him in Dibrugarh and Tinsukia districts.

The banned outfit leader said, "If Kishan doesn't apologise within 24 hours, he will be declared banned in Tinsukia and Dibrugarh districts. No one should attend any program of Kishan. ULFA (I) will not be responsible for the consequences people who support Kishan face."
