Dont compare Assam violence and Gujarat riots says Tarun Gogoi

Speaking exclusively to NDTV about the recent violence in Assam that left over 70 people dead and lakhs displaced, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said it would be unfair to compare the situation in the state with the 2002 Gujarat riots. "Gujarat situation was sponsored by the state. They took months to control. We controlled the situation within a week." He said. Mr Gogoi however admitted that there were initial problems like shortage of forces, procedural delays etc. Video courtesy: NDTV
