KMSS firebrand Akhil Gogoi sharpens attack on Atanu Bhuyan hours after the Newslive editor in chief resigned over the molestation incident. Addressing a press conference in Guwahati on Tuesday, Gogoi welcomed the resignation and called it a good sign for the people of Assam.

He said that Bhuyan seemed more a notorious political leader and less a veteran journalist when he was addressing the media. Gogoi said that another veteran journalist Syed Zarir Hussain should also quit alleging that he was clarifying the channel’s position before the national media. He alleged that Amarjyoti Kalita still receives support from police who have asked him to escape.
