The chief minister said that if her parents take responsibility that she will not join the terrorist group, she will be released.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said Barshashree Buragohain, a college student, was arrested for wanting to join ULFA(I) and not for penning an "anti-national" poem, amid the public outcry seeking her release.
The chief minister said that if her parents take responsibility that she will not join the terrorist group, she will be released.
"She wrote an anti-national poem. I sent people to talk to her even today morning. If her parents or someone take responsibility that she will not join the ULFA, she will be released," Mr Sarma said.
He claimed that if she goes on to join the ULFA(I), she would return as a "human bomb" and kill the common people of the state.
