Not just thousand, everyone can attend Tarun Gogoi's last rites: Assam Cong president Ripun Bora

Speaking to media, Bora said that wrong information has been spread among the people that only a thousand people can attend the last rites of the former Assam Chief Minister.

He said, "there is a little confusion. The information shared by Assam Finance and Health Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma was taken in a wrong way by the public". Bora said that there should not be any controversy over this and no wrong information should go out.

Bora further said that the arrangement of sitting capacity at the crematorium was made for as many as a thousand people to attend the funeral. However, now everyone would be allowed to attend Gogoi's funeral, but in case anyone is not able to enter the crematorium, a LED screen would be put up outside the crematorium, so that all Gogoi's supporters, well-wishers coming from various parts of the state can view the last rites of their beloved three-time Chief Minister.

The last rites of Tarun Gogoi would be held at the Navagraha crematorium, Guwahati instead of his hometown Titabor in Jorhat, as per the wishes of Gogoi's family. The last rites would be performed on Thursday, November 26.
