Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today contested L K Advani’s claim that Assam had “given away” land to Bangladesh in a recent agreement with the neighbour and asked the BJP leader to identify such areas.
“Where have we given away land? Tell us which area of Assam has been given away. Only Bangladesh’s land in adverse possession of Assam has been given,” Gogoi told reporters here responding to Advani’s accusation during his ‘Jana Chetna Yatra’ rally here yesterday.
“Before going to Bangladesh, the Prime Minister had met opposition leaders and discussed the issues that were to be taken up during his Bangladesh visit,” Gogoi said. Stating that there was no secrecy in the land deal, the chief minister said Advani could have raised the issue in Parliament as it was in session when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh returned from Bangladesh.
