Refuting the allegation Gogoi on Monday said that it is really unfortunate that Himanta Biswa Sarma choose to hurl wild allegation against me that I have influenced the Speaker.

“It is a blatant lie. This is a grave insult to the Hon’ble Speaker who always maintains neutrality and impartiality. He has also desecrated the sanctity of the House,” Gogoi said. Gogoi challenged Sarma to prove his allegation that he has influenced the Speaker, failing which he has to apologise publicly.

Gogoi also hit out at Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal for his derisive remark that the Assam Legislative Assembly has been turned into a Congress office.“The comment made by Sonowal against the House is disgraceful, shocking and outrageous,” Gogoi said.
