Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Wednesday threatened to snap his party’s alliance with the Bodoland People’s Front if claims about its involvement in the killing of Muslims were found factual.
Mr Gogoi told reports when he visited violence-hit areas of Bodoland Territorial Council on Wednesday, “It will not take more than five minutes for me to snap all ties with the BPF if they are found to have been involve in the killing of Muslims.”
Mr Gogoi after admitting that BPF leaders were accused from several quarters to be involved in the BTC killings said, “I have ordered a judicial probe to find out the culprits. Let us wait for the inquiry report.”
On the demand for dissolving the Bodoland Territorial Council, Mr Gogoi said, “I cannot comment on that as it was created by the Centre and is a constitutional issue.”
On Wednesday, some more bodies were fished out of the Beki River in Barpeta district. And according to police they are yet to be identified. It further said that there was no report of any fresh incident from any part of the state.
