“Whoever was involved will not be spared. A special investigation team (SIT) has been constituted,” Sonowal said in Guwahati on Friday (20 December).
CM Sonowal also assured that “Assam will remain with the Assamese people”, and that the state government would bring in whatever legislation is required to ensure the same.
