Guwahati: The Deputy Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi on Thursday slammed the BJP government after Congress MP Rakibul Hussain was attacked in the Nagaon district by miscreants on Thursday.
In a statement to the media Gaurav Gogoi stated, “In Assam, a Congress Lok Sabha MP is attacked by thugs in broad daylight in a busy marketplace. The goons even attacked the police security officers and tried to snatch their weapons. All of this is recorded on camera. Yet the Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma refuses to ensure that the thugs will be arrested immediately.”
He added that the Chief Minister should at least think of his constitutional duty towards Assam Police and the innocent civilians in the marketplace.
“If the goons had got hold of the machine gun a terrible tragedy could have taken place. The attitude of the Chief Minister will only embolden the thieves, dacoits, smugglers and those accused of murder. Democracy is under threat and people of Assam want freedom from this gunda raj culture,” he added.
Hussain, a Member of Parliament from Dhubri Lok Sabha seat, was attending a public program in the Nagaon district when he was attacked by some miscreants.
The Congress MP had to run from the spot wearing a helmet to save himself from the attackers. The reason for the attack is yet unknown. Congress has targeted the BJP-led government over the law and order situation in the state.
