Gogoi dares Centre

Guwahati, March 7 (IANS): Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has dared the BJP-led central government to also file sedition charge against him as he agrees with some of the statements made by Jawaharlal Nehru Students Union president Kanhaiya Kumar. Gogoi said Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi supported Kanhaiya Kumar's statements on freedom and sedition charge was slapped against him. "I too agree with some of the statements made by Kanhaiya Kumar and they (BJP) should slap sedition charge against me also," he said. "Kanhaiya Kumar has rightfully pointed out that they want freedom guaranteed under the Constitution. There can be different opinions and ideologies in democracy, and the BJP and the RSS have attacked the Constitution by restricting freedom of speech and expression, which is tantamount to curtailment of fundamental rights."
