KHERONI: The Karbi Anglong District Congress Committee (KA-DCC) organized a protest on Saturday near its office in Diphu as part of a statewide agitation, condemning Assam Minister of Health and Family Welfare and Irrigation, Ashok Singhal, for his controversial remark likening the Congress party to an ‘animal.’ The statement, made during a public meeting in Dhekiajuli, sparked outrage among Congress leaders and workers. Raton Engti, President of KA-DCC, criticized Singhal’s derogatory comment, stating, “We have seen in the news that Minister Singhal said that he had never seen the ‘animal’ called Congress.
