Lashing out at Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Gogoi said that the situation was being taken lightly and further questioned what message the CM was giving to the people of the state.

'The situation is being taken lightly. The CM is laughing, he is smiling. He thinks this is a joke... What message is he giving to the people of Assam? That is why people feel they are under threat and feel they are being ruled by a tyrant... I condemn this attack and the timid behavior of the CM...' Gogoi said while speaking to the media. (ANI)
