2,000 FB accounts commenting on Assam election being probed, handled from Pakistan, Bangladesh: Assam CM

Guwahati, June 4 (UNI) The Assam police is investigating about 2,000 Facebook accounts, commenting on Assam elections, which are being handled from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said this on Wednesday in Guwahati while interacting with newsmen.
"We have asked the Special Branch of the Assam police to look into it," he said.
Sarma's revelation assumes significance as the state is going to elections early next year.
He said that the ISI of Pakistan wants a particular candidate to win in Assam elections slated for next year.
“The numbers of fictitious accounts will increase as elections draw near, ISI wants a particular candidate to win and details I will give on September 10. Around 2,000 Facebook accounts have penetrated," he said.
“If people see the comments, it becomes clear that these are not people from Assam. A call centre is set up in Kolkata, 2,000 accounts belonging to a particular community have sprung up in a day. As these things are under my observation and by September Assam politics will be interesting and I will be able to spell out more things," he added.
Sarma said the Assam Government recently pushed back several Bangladeshi nationals.
It may be mentioned here that the Assam Chief Minister had recently opposed the inclusion of Lok Sabha MP Gaurav Gogoi in the all-party delegation to be sent to different countries to explain India's stance on terrorism. He had also accused Gogoi of visiting Pakistan and alleged that Gogoi's wife Elizabeth Coulbern Gogoi is working for a climate network in Pakistan.
