Assam Assembly adjourned twice in 30 minutes over attack on Congress MP; CM says culprits identified
Speaker Daimary said the adjournment motion can not be allowed as discussion on finance bill was scheduled for the day.
Minister Pijush Hazarika, responding to Saikia's allegation of the government not acting against the culprit, claimed that the attackers have been identified and action is being initiated.
Unsatisfied with the response, the Congress legislators stormed into the Well of the House and created noisy scenes.
The BJP legislators also shouted back at the opposition MLAs, claiming that attacks on their leaders happened during Congress regime but no action was taken.
As the ruckus continued, the Speaker adjourned the House for 10 minutes.
As soon as it reassembled, Congress legislators once again stormed into the Well and demanded discussion on the issue.
As the noisy scenes continued, Daimary adjourned proceedings for another five minutes.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said 10 individuals had been identified in connection with the attack.
“The police have identified the individuals involved in the alleged assault on Congress MP Rakibul Hussain,” Sarma posted on X, sharing the names and locations of the accused. He assured that legal action would follow.
