GUWAHATI: Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) leader Akhil Gogoi, who has been in jail since last December for alleged Maoist links, may be released in the next few days, said the peasant organisation’s political wing, Raijor Dal’s, chief convener Bhasco De Saikia.
Saikia was hopeful that the judgment of the Gauhati High Court will be in their favour and Akhil will be granted bail. This comes at a time when Raijor Dal, one of the newest regional parties to be born out of the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act movement, is going to organize its first state convention at Moran in upper Assam between January 7 and 9 that will decide whether it will ally with Aasu-backed Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP). “We hope that the people of Assam will get the good news that Akhil Gogoi is coming out of jail very soon and he will be able to join us in the first state convention,” Saikia added
