Uproar in Assam Assembly as ruling party accuses Congress MLA of attacking Deputy Speaker, leading to adjournment.
The Assam Assembly on Monday (March 24, 2025) witnessed an uproarious situation with the ruling party alleging that Deputy Speaker Numal Momin was attacked by Congress MLA Nurul Huda just outside the House, leading to adjournment.
The Congress legislators attended the Assam Assembly wearing black dresses to protest against ruling BJP MLA Rupjyoti Kurmi, who verbally abused opposition MLAs and tried to physically attack them inside the House last week.
Before the session started, the Congress legislators held a sit-in protest outside the Speaker's chamber in the Assembly building demanding action against Mr. Kurmi.
"I got a WhatsApp from Momin that he was attacked by Nurul Huda and he is now hospitalised. I request the Speaker to file a police case as it happened outside the House and then police will investigate it," Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said in between the Question Hour.
Moments before that, Mr. Momin was seen sitting inside the House and attended the session. He left the House after some time.
Speaker Biswajit Daimary said he has asked the officials to check the matter.
Reacting to CM's allegations, Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia demanded a House Committee to investigate the matter instead of giving a police case as it was reported to take place inside the Assembly building.

To make city bus drivers fall in line with traffic rules, the Mangaluru City police henceforth will begin registering FIRs against traffic violations under Section 281 (reckless driving) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal said on Wednesday. So far, they were only imposing penalties for traffic violations.
