Reportedly, Gogoi was not allowed to hold a press conference at Assam house in New Delhi. After which, the miffed Congress veteran had to address the press conference in Gopinath Bordoloi path near Assam house in New Delhi.

"For reasons not known, the authority didn't give the consent to hold a press conference here in Assam house. When I asked the reason, they had failed to illustrate the valid reason. It is an indirect emergency to sabotage democratic voice": Gogoi said.
