Does Akhil Gogois First Assembly Meeting As An MLA Encircles Disrespect And Mockery?
Today, July 12 marked as the first Assam Assembly meeting for the Peasant Leader and Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi in his political career. Akhil Gogoi, the man who had fought and has been fighting for the welfare of Assam and speaking against the corruption in the state has always been suppressed by the power holders. This has been alleged by his supporters and the general public all over India. The anti-CAA protest that created massive violence and terror in Assam where 5 youths became martyrs from firing of security forces is an unforgettable period for the peoples leader, Akhil Gogoi. The man was put behind bars for more than a year under UAPA act for protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Bill (now an act) by the BJP government. It was only recently, on July 1st that the Raijor Dal chief was released from jail as NIA could not provide adequate proofs over the charges made against him. The BJP kept me behind the bars so that they could do all that they want against the will of the general public. They knew their plans would not have been successful, if I were kept free, said Akhil Gogoi while addressing the media after his release from jail. On Monday, the Sivasagar MLA protested against the claims made by CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on the role of Legislators in the decision making capacity along with the other legislators of the opposition parties on their way to the Assembly meeting. The remarks that the CM made on the role of legislators are unconstitutional. A CMs responsibility also comprises of safeguarding the laws of the constitution. If the CM himself makes such kind of remarks, we will definitely voice against it, said MLA Akhil Gogoi. Well, this was the scene of the day in the Sivasagar MLAs life before the Assembly meeting has started, what happens inside the meeting was pure mockery towards him. As mentioned earlier in the reports by Pratidin Time, Akhil Gogoi got only 2 minutes to speak in the Assembly as he was from an independent party with the least number of leaders, which is only him.
