“You are hereby required to attend Aayakar Bhawan, Guwahati on August 16, 2024, to give evidence or to produce either personally or through an authorized representative the books of account or other documents specified below and not to depart until you receive my permission to do so,” said the release.

Earlier on August 11, the Assam Pradesh Congress president said that the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) will hold crucial party leaders and workers’ meeting in the first week of September to strengthen the party organisation and to discuss the upcoming bye-elections for five assembly constituencies and panchayat polls in the state.
He further said that to strengthen the party, they have taken various initiatives.
On the other hand, talking about the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls for two seats in Assam, the APCC president said that, at present, they don’t have enough MLAs in the state assembly to win the Rajya Sabha election.
“If anyone will come and desire to contest in the Rajya Sabha polls, then we may think about this. But as of now, no one has come forward,” Bhupen Kumar Borah said. (ANI)
