“However, because of the interventions of the city police the program could not be organised and it came to an abrupt end. But it is beyond doubts that the present committee of Gauhati Press Club organized the program and announced about it in advance,” the FIR further alleged.

Senion journalist Biswajit Nath in the FIR has demanded strictest action to be taken against the president and General Secretary of GPC.

“Why necessary actions should not be taken under the unlawful activities prevention act (1967) against Manoj Nath and Sanjay Ray,” Biswajit Nath questioned in the FIR.
