Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi took a full week after ethnic clashes began in his state, to reach Kokrajhar, the epicenter of the violence that has left 41 people dead and about 2 lakh homeless. There he said "Assam is not burning" and that it will take the state two or three days to get back to normal. In New Delhi, Muslim MPs across party lines and including some from the Congress, met the Home Minister to say they have lost confidence in the Gogoi government.
