GUWAHATI, Dec 19: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday alleged that Congress leaders had attempted to enter Raj Bhavan here forcibly during protest and the authorities have ordered an inquiry into the incident.
The opposition party on Wednesday organised a protest march to Raj Bhavan against a range of issues, including unrest in Manipur and bribery charges against Adani Group. The party alleged that a 45-year-old Congress worker died “due to tear gas smoke” during the melee.
“The institution of the Governor stands above partisan politics. Yesterday, Congress party leaders attempted to forcibly enter Raj Bhavan by breaching police barricades and causing chaos in the vicinity. The police will register an FIR and conduct a thorough inquiry into the incident, including a review of video recordings,” the chief minister said in a post on X.
