Guwahati, Jan 22: During a press conference at Dispur Press Club in Guwahati on Monday, the Forum of Assam Opposition demanded Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s resignation in the wake of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra attack in Sonitpur district. The opposition also expressed condemnation for the prevention of Rahul Gandhi’s entry into Srimanta Sankardev Satra on the same day.

Highlighting the incident, opposition parties underscored the Chief Minister’s perceived failure in upholding law and order, suggesting a pre-planned and orchestrated assault during the Nyay Yatra.

It must be noted that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was not allowed by authorities to visit the Sri Sri Sankar Dev Satra temple in Bordua on Monday.Gandhi, along with other Congress leaders, was stopped at Haiboragaon and not allowed to proceed further.

The former Congress chief had planned to seek blessings from the local deity before commencing his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra on Monday. In response to the denial of permission for Gandhi to visit the temple, Mahila Congress leaders staged a dharna in protest. Joining the demonstration, the former Congress chief stood in solidarity. Authorities have now indicated that permission for Gandhi to visit the temple will be granted at 3 PM.
