Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, announced on Tuesday the registration of an FIR against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, KC Venugopal, Kanhaiya Kumar, and others. The charges include alleged involvement in violence, provocation, damage to public property, and assault on police personnel.
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.
The Lakhimpur district Congress Committee submitted a First Information Report (FIR) regarding the purported defacement and tearing of posters linked to the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' in Lakhimpur, Assam on Saturday.
Speaking to the crowd, the AIUDF chief said that there was a time when the CM held a leadership role for Muslims within the Congress party, during which he received a lot of support from the people, urging the CM not to compromise it.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday objected to Rahul Gandhi's Nyay Yatra, expressing dissatisfaction about the chosen route through the city, citing the presence of medical colleges and nursing homes, deeming it inadvisable.
The Yatra covered approximately 1.5 kilometers within Nagaland, reaching the Assam border at 9.30 a.m., marked by a formal 'flag handover' at the interstate border.
Speaking to reporters in Guwahati, Sarma noted that the Miya Muslim community is distancing itself from Congress meetings and is now showing a growing interest in the welfare schemes initiated by the ruling government and that various communities feel hesitant to attend Congress gatherings, because of lack of benefits.
