Congress demands breach of privilege against BJP MLA Rupjyoti Kurmi for attacking opposition legislators in Assam Assembly.
The Congress on Sunday (March 23, 2025) demanded that Assam Assembly Speaker Biswajit Daimary initiate a breach of privilege against ruling BJP MLA Rupjyoti Kurmi for allegedly trying to physically attack opposition legislators and verbally abusing them in the House.
It also urged the Speaker to disallow Mr. Kurmi from attending the assembly till a committee looking into the breach of privilege against the MLA submits its report, and demanded a response from Daimary before the next sitting of the House on Monday morning.
Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia, in a letter to Mr. Daimary, maintained that Mr. Kurmi’s behaviour is unprecedented in the history of the Assam assembly.
Mr. Kurmi had got into a spat with opposition MLAs during a discussion in the House on Friday (March 21). He hurled verbal abuses at them, using expletives that were later expunged from records of proceedings.
He had also lunged at the opposition benches with the marshals preventing him from reaching further close.
A former Congressman, Kurmi, who has been representing the Mariani constituency in the Assembly since 2006, had switched over to the BJP in 2021.
BJP State president Dilip Saikia has already asked Mr. Kurmi to tender a public apology over the matter.
