CM Sarma also met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday, to ensure that the Ministry of Home Affairs gives approval to submit a chargesheet since the incident happened in a foreign country. The approval could be given in the next 3-4 days, he added.

'If any incident happens in a foreign country, it is needed an approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs before submitting the chargesheet. Yesterday, I met Union Home Minister Amit Shah, so that we can get the approval soon. I think that, in next 3-4 days the SIT will write to the MHA, we will get approval and we will submit the chargesheet on December 7 or 8 or 9,' the Assam Chief Minister told media.

On the other hand, the Assam Chief Minister once again alleged that Congress MP and APCC president Gaurav Gogoi 'is 100 percent a Pakistani agent.'

'Gaurav Gogoi is a 100 percent Pakistani agent. What I am saying it is 100 percent right. Yesterday, Debabrata Saikia (LoP of Assam Legislative Assembly) said that, Gaurav Gogoi should file a case against me, if he will do this then I will be happy. We will open Gaurav Gogoi incident after submission of the chargesheet of Zubeen Garg death case,' the Assam CM said.

The Assam Chief Minister further said that, his government will bring a new bill on November 25 in the Assam assembly to ban polygamy in the state.
