On Thursday, Congress MP Rakibul Hussain was attacked by a group of masked assailants while en route to a party meeting in Gunabari, Rupahihat. Witnesses said the attackers, who covered their faces with black fabric and carried black flags, also attacked Hussain's bodyguard during the clash. Hussain's security team responded by firing warning shots to guard him, managing to deflect serious injury. The attack has sparked widespread concerns over the safety of political leaders in the country.
On February 21, the Assam Assembly faced significant disruption as opposition Congress MLAs protested against the recent attack on Congress MP Rakibul Hussain. Speaker Biswajit Daimary adjourned the House twice within 30 minutes due to the uproar. Minister Pijush Hazarika stated that the government has already identified the culprit with an assurance of taking appropriate measures against them.
