The Opposition Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) filed multiple complaints at various police stations on Sunday against central ministers Sarbananda Sonowal, Rameswar Teli, and chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for purportedly violating COVID-19 protocols during BJP’s ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ in Assam.
The complaints were also lodged against Assam ministers Bimal Borah and Jogen Mohan, MPs Kamakhya Prasad Tasa, Topon Kumar Gogoi, Dilip Saikia, Pallab Lochan Das, and Queen Oja, BJP state chief Bhabesh Kalita, and Kamrup Metropolitan Deputy Commissioner Biswajit Pegu.
Complaints were registered at Dispur, Latasil, and other police stations, police officers said
A ‘Jan Ashirwad Yatra’ has been organised by the Assam state BJP wherein government officials have also participated to welcome Sarbananda Sonowal…wherein more than 200 persons participated in complete violation of the SOPs,” the complaint read.
The AJP claimed that protocols were violated because of the presence of an enormous number of individuals at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Dr. Bhupen Hazarika’s memorial, and other places. It further claimed that the development of BJP individuals from the Kamrup Metropolitan locale violated the SOPs as no such movement is permitted nearby as of now.
“We request you to register a case against the persons mentioned above and investigate the matter,” the opposition party encouraged the police.
At the point when reached, a senior authority of the Guwahati Police disclosed to PTI that they are inspecting the complaints as of now, and the case will be enlisted “only if it has any merit.”
