Assam Congress President Bhupen Borah strongly criticized the Assam government’s decision to impose a comprehensive beef ban, accusing Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the BJP of encroaching on personal freedoms and cultural rights.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma revealed that the decision was influenced by proposals from Assam Congress chief Bhupen Kumar Borah and MP Rakibul Hussain, adding a political dimension to the move.
