"The government of India will never surrender," he said, adding that he is in touch with the centre.
He said no government can accept or allow such things to happen.
"It is difficult to say why they were attacked. I do not have a reason behind it too. Innocents were killed, they were women and children. what is this heroism I do not know," said Gogoi.
He said a major operation will be started.
Meanwhile, PM Narendra Modi tweeted: "I spoke to Assam CM Shri Tarun Gogoi & Home Minister Rajnath ji. Rajnath ji will travel to Assam and take stock of the situation."
