Its a big blow for former Assam Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta. The party he headed earlier now leaves him in the lurch.
And that too at a time when the retired Justice K N Saikia panel has indicted him in the secret killing cases.
Asom Gana Parishad president Brindabon Goswami says his party will not shield Mr Mahanta saying he is no longer with the regional party.
Talking to the correspondent here, Mr Goswami says his party will not share the blame with former Chief Minister. Instead, his party seeks action against him if really he is found involved in the crime.
The biggies of the party will meet on November 21 to discuss the implication of its MLA from Hajo and former minister Nurul Hussain.
