Guwahati, Apr 28: The Gauhati High Court Bar
Association today opposed the reported move by the Centre to
appoint former Punjab police chief K P S Gill as Assam
Governor.
The Association took a serious note of the reported news
about the appointment at an executive committee meeting during
the day and asked the authorities to desist from any move
that "might have serious repercussions among the people of the
state," Apurba Kumar Sharma, the Secretary-General of the
Association said.
He said Assam is a sensitive state which "required a
person with unquestionable integrity and a person of Gill's
Calibre having been connected with a criminal offence of
outraging the modesty of a lady officer is not fit for the
post".
Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has vehemently opposed the move for appointment of gill saying it was not "advisable and might have adverse public reaction".
