New Delhi: Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi on Wednesday hit out at the Assam Police for summoning senior journalists Siddharth Varadarajan and Karan Thapar in a sedition case, calling it a sign of “lawlessness” and accusing the state of being in the headlines for “all the wrong reasons.”
The journalists have been asked to appear before the Guwahati City Police crime branch on August 22. Reacting to the development, Gogoi said the move does not reflect the values of the state.
“Another day, another reason when Assam is in the news for all the wrong reasons. Greed, corruption, incompetency, lawlessness. This is not the Assam way. The people of Assam want a leadership that will build an Assam of their dreams,” Gogoi posted on X.
