Assam: Dhemaji All Assam Students’ Union reacts to Gauhati High Court’s verdict

LAKHIMPUR:Dhemaji district unit of All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has expressed strong reaction following the Gauhati High Court verdict pronounced on Thursday acquitting the accused of the 2004 Dhemaji bomb blast incident.

In a press release, Dhemaji AASU president Sanjib Das and general secretary Jayanta Borgohain said, “We have nothing to say on the verdict pronounced by Gauhati High Court regarding the 2004 Dhemaji bomb blast case. But we must say that the victims of the heinous incident did not get justice due to dereliction on the part of the investigating officers of the case. The accused of the incident managed to get acquitted from punishment because of the dereliction of State Home Affairs and Police Department.”

The Dhemaji AASU president and the general secretary further said, “If no one was involved in the heinous bomb blast, how did it take place? Due to whose wrongdoing, did the incident occur? We have demanded proper investigation of the case again.”

On the other hand, AASU central committee information secretary Manturaj Baruah and Dhemaji AASU adviser Dipak Sarmah said that AASU had demanded that the case should be handed over to the CBI, so that no people involved in the heinous explosion could get escape from being punished by taking loopholes of the law. “We reiterated it in the wake of the verdict pronounced by Dhemaji District Session Court regarding the case on July 4, 2019.”

“But the case was not handed over to the CBI. Under such circumstances, the families of the thirteen martyrs had to be deprived of justice only because of the dereliction on the part of the investigating officers. The common people will lose faith on Assam Police and Home Department of the State because of such inefficiency and dereliction,” Manturaj Baruah and Dipak Sarmah added.
