New Delhi, January 20

The Congress on Saturday accused Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of orchestrating a targeted assault on vehicles of party supporters during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra of Rahul Gandhi in Lakhimpur.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on X said: “We strongly condemn the shameful attack on Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra vehicles and tearing of Congress’ banners and posters by BJP goons in Lakhimpur, Assam.”

He said in the last 10 years, the BJP had tried to trample upon rights of people. “It wants to muzzle the voices and hijack democracy,” he said, asserting, “The Congress will not be cowed down by such attacks and intimidation tactics employed by the BJP government in Assam, which is responsible for this.”
