Guwahati: Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to ensure “justice” to Kargil war veteran Mohammad Sanaullah, who has been recently declared a ‘foreigner’ and sent to a detention camp.
Gogoi, in his letter to Shah, made available to the media on Thursday, urged him to institute an inquiry into the alleged inefficiency of the police officers who verified his documents and the subsequent declaration of the former army personnel as ‘foreigner’ by the Foreigners’ Tribunal at Boko.
Gogoi, elected to the Lok Sabha for the second consecutive term from Kaliabor in the just-concluded polls, demanded that the erring officials be barred from continuing their duty in such “irresponsible manner”.
People of Assam are pinning hopes on the central government for justice, he insisted. “Sanaullah’s long service in the armed forces is proof of his patriotism and citizenship and we sincerely want relief for the veteran armyman,” the MP added. (PTI)
