Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday said in today's press conference that a major press briefing will soon be held to discuss the findings of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged links of Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi with Pakistan.
Speaking to the media, Sarma stated that journalists from Delhi and other parts of the country will be invited to attend the press conference. “There is a lot of damaging information in the report,” the Chief Minister remarked, adding that a portion of the SIT report will be made public.
