Uproar in Assam Assembly Over Attack on Congress MP

The Assam Assembly faced chaos after a Congress MP, Rakibul Hussain, was attacked in Nagaon district. Opposition Congress demanded an adjournment motion, leading to repeated disruptions. The Speaker and BJP dismissed the demands, citing scheduled discussions. Tension sparked between opposing MLAs over government actions.

The Assam Assembly erupted in turmoil on Friday following an attack on Congress MP Rakibul Hussain in Nagaon district. The incident sparked heated debate as opposition Congress MLAs demanded an adjournment motion, which was denied by Speaker Biswajit Daimary, leading to the adjournment of the House twice within the first half-hour of proceedings.

Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia criticized the absence of remorse from the Chief Minister regarding the attack, which involved Hussain being targeted by masked individuals with cricket bats. Hussain emerged unhurt, but his personal security officers sustained minor injuries requiring medical attention.

Tensions escalated as Minister Pijush Hazarika stated that the culprits had been identified, despite Congress's dissatisfaction with the response. The back-and-forth between Congress and BJP MLAs led to further chaos and temporary suspension of the session while allegations about past incidents during Congress's rule were also exchanged.
