Meanwhile, Assam Cabinet Minister Pijush Hazarika alleged that the influencer who insulted the Assamese community is a “well-known Congress supporter.”
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Hazarika said, “This influencer who abused the entire Assamese community is a well-known Congress supporter. These are the kind of people the Congress IT Cell relies on to gain reach and peddle their agenda. Even Hon’ble CM Dr @himantabiswa Dangoriya highlighted this in his press conference.
“Yet, the Congress party has not condemned these vile remarks. What does this silence mean? Is this the official stand of Congress towards Assam and the Assamese people?”
“How many more such influencers has Congress appointed to insult our land, culture, and identity? Assam deserves answers and an apology,” Hazarika added.
