PM Narendra Modi did grave injustice to people of Assam: Tarun Gogoi

GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done "grave injustice" to the state by not raising the dam construction issue over Brahmaputra River with China during his recent visit to the country.

Such a vital issue concerning Assam should have been raised by the Prime Minister during his talks with his Chinese counterpart, the Chief Minister said in a statement here.

"By not raising the serious issue and putting it on the back burner, the Prime Minister has done grave injustice to Assam and its people," he added.

Gogoi had earlier urged Modi to take up the issue of construction of dams over the Brahmaputra by China during his visit to the neighbouring country.
