If Centre knew, why wasn't Army sent earlier: Gogoi

Under extreme pressure, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said today that there was fear and terror among the two communities that have been involved in ethnic clashes in the state over the last week. The focus now is on Tarun Gogoi's handling of the huge humanitarian crisis in Assam. It took the CM a full week after ethnic clashes began in his state to reach Kokrajhar, the epicentre of the violence. There he had said yesterday, "Assam is not burning." He has been universally slammed for what is being called his inept handling of a sensitive situation.
