Face of criminal: More trouble time await Gogoi cabinet

The more Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi is trying to extricate himself from on 
going trouble the more his is getting sinking in it. In yet another development, 
former Rajya Sabha MP Basanti Sarma is seeking CBI probe into the assassination 
of her husband Manabendra Sarma. Talking to a private satellite TV news channel 
that beamed the story Mrs Sarma said only a CBI probe could identify the real 
culprit behind the murder of her husband.

The Opposition parties are 
demanding a CBI probe into the case which that Government has been denying where 
health minister Dr Himana Biswa Sarma's name comes up the Opposition leaders ae 
to be believed. Also the Opposition finds it strange why and how the file having 
evidence to implicate Dr Sarma has been missing.

On the other hand, 
another minister Gautom Roy is allegedly involved in the killing of NRI 
businessman Pratul Deb in Karimganj district.The Opposition is set to intensify 
the demand for CBI probe into these two high profile cases.

Both Dr Sarma 
and Mr Roy are known to be acolytes of the Chief Minister and if the Chief 
Minister is forced to handover the cases to the CBI, then it will be a final 
disaster for the Congress government. The Opposition leaders now will not allow 
the government to remain in peace. The July Assembly session which is said to be 
a brief will be a stormy one..  

The entire development has come up after 
the arrest of education minister Ripun Bora by CBI while he was trying to bribe 
a CBI official who was probing a murder case.
