Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra: Assam CM asks police to book Rahul for provoking crowd to break barricades
On Tuesday, Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma directed the state DGP to file a police complaint against Rahul Gandhi for allegedly “provoking a crowd” during his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.
According to Sarma, Rahul Gandhi’s unruly behaviour and violation of agreed guidelines resulted in a massive traffic jam in Guwahati.
Meanwhile, Gandhi also accused the Assam government of not letting him meet university students. However, Sarma claimed that the university mentioned by the leader is in Meghalaya and not in Assam.
Taking to the X platform, Sarma wrote, “These are not part of Assamese culture. We are a peaceful state. Such naxalite tactics are completely alien to our culture.”
Sarma also said that he has instructed the DGP of Assam Police to register a case against Rahul Gandhi for provoking the crowd. The footage posted on social media will be used as evidence.
The Congress supporters clashed with police on Tuesday as the administration did not permit the Rahul Gandhi-led yatra to enter Guwahati, citing the possibility of heavy traffic congestion in the city.
