Help bring back Assam scholar caught in Israel-Palestine conflict: MP Gaurav Gogoi

The chemistry scholar at Ben Gurion University is from Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi’s constituency

Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi has asked the External Affairs Ministry to help bring back an Assam scholar caught in the Israel-Palestine conflict. In a letter to Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Thursday, Mr. Gogoi sought “appropriate action” to ensure Naziha Tarannam returned safely to her home at Dergaon in eastern Assam’s Golaghat district. Ms. Tarannum is a chemistry scholar at the Ben Gurion University stuck in Negev, Israel, due to the country’s conflict with Hamas in Palestine. She is from Mr. Gogoi’s Lok Sabha constituency Kaliabor.
