GUWAHATI: Congress deputy leader in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi , recently appointed president of the Assam unit of the party, is likely to be summoned soon for interrogation in connection with a case to do with his alleged links with Pakistan, a highly-placed police source said. The source said a letter would be written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking permission to interrogate Gogoi, if required.
Gogoi's party colleague and former Rajya Sabha MP Ripun Bora, was interrogated by an Assam police SIT for four hours Thursday in connection with the case. He was questioned regarding his statement during a press conference Sunday, where he 'defended' Gogoi over Pak-link allegation against him. Bora had said that CM Himanta Biswa Sarma was trying to portray Gogoi as an ISI agent only because BJP knows the present govt will lose assembly elections next year if Gogoi is made the opposition's CM candidate.
Gogoi told the media, "...SIT sought information from Ripun Bora. What did they do in the name of investigation if Bora has to give them all info?"
He said state's people have already understood the politics hatched in the name of investigation. "We have been talking about the ongoing syndicate of coal, sand, and betel nut and scams by the CM and a few of his close ministers, and we will take the issues to the people," he added.
