APCC suspends former minister for anti-party activities

The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee has decided to suspend former minister Gautam Roy and general secretary Ramen Borthakur for anti-party activities, an APCC source said.

The decision was taken on Saturday night during a meeting of the extended executive committee of the APCC, the source said.

Roy, a powerful leader from the Barak Valley, had reportedly celebrated BJP's victory in Silchar and Karimganj constituencies in the recent Lok Sabha polls by allegedly distributing sweets.
