GUWAHATI, Oct 8: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on opposition leaders like Lurinjyoti Gogoi, Akhil Gogoi for their stand on Zubeen Garg’s death probe.
Sarma told reporters here, “Lurinyoti Gogoi has been doing politics ever since Zubeen Garg died on September 19 in Singapore. This is not acceptable and I would advise him to listen to Zubeen’s comment regarding Lurinjyoti’s political party while the singer was alive. I believe once Lurinjoyti Gogoi hears that, he will stop making unnecessary comments in the whole matter.”

The Chief Minister also questioned Lurinjyoti’s demand to see the postmortem report of Zubeen Garg.
“The death probe of Zubeen Garg is related to government, his family and fans. As a political person, Lurinjyoti Gogoi should not have any interest in the autopsy report,” he added.
Sarma also criticised Akhil Gogoi and said, “The Sivasagar MLA has been also doing nasty politics using Zubeen Garg and it is extremely pathetic to use the death of an individual for political benefits. The opposition MLA has not done any development work in the Sivasagar assembly constituency in the last five years and yet he is dreaming to win elections for another time baking on people’s emotions regarding Zubeen Garg’s death.”
The Chief Minister further alleged that Akhil Gogoi showed bad gesture while paying last respect to Zubeen Garg when his mortal remains were kept in the Sarusajai sports complex.
“When we pay respect to the mortal remains of an individual, we generally bow down before the individual’s feet; however, I have seen that when Akhil Gogoi went to Sarusajai sports complex, he was raising his hand after paying floral tribute to Zubeen Garg. I have those videos and I believe this was a pure disrespectful act towards a late person,” Sarma said.
