The Assam wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) filed an FIR against seven Congress leaders for allegedly attacking party workers during a protest in Guwahati.
State BJP President Sarbanand Sonowal demanded action against them alleging that several BJP workers were injured in the incident.
He further added that BJP workers and supporters were attacked in front of the state Congress office in Guwahati when they were protesting against Congress leader Nilmani Sen Deka's derogatory comments targeting the Prime Minister and Union Human Resource Development Minister.
State Congress president Anjan Dutta, however, accused the BJP workers of attacking Congress workers. He said the party has lodged FIR against four BJP workers after seven Congress workers were seriously injured. The Police has arrested four BJP workers.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has disapproved the comments of his Agriculture Adviser Nilmani Sen Deka. The BJP said that the party will file case against Deka and Parliament Secretary Rupjyoti Kurmi for their derogatory remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Smriti Irani.
