The Assam Legislative Assembly witnessed intense chaos on Friday as the united Opposition disrupted proceedings, demanding a House Committee probe into corruption allegations against Minister Ashok Singhal. The uproar led to two adjournments, highlighting deepening political tensions.
The All Assam Minority Students’ Union (AAMSU) has called for the immediate removal of Assam’s Health Minister Ashok Singhal from the state cabinet, branding him as unfit to hold a constitutional post.
The meeting, part of a series held across Upper Assam districts, also focused on pressing healthcare challenges, particularly maternal and neonatal mortality rates (MMR and IMR), which remain disproportionately high in the region.
