The partymen protested at Manabendra Complex here along with a large crowd of supporters.

The party called upon the Election Commission (EC) authorities to intervene and aid the people to safeguard their constitutional rights.

The Congress has urged the EC to remain a neutral entity and uphold the sanctity of political representation in a democracy, while implementing legal recourse for this glaring misuse of power by the ruling regime in Assam and not remain a mute spectator to such important issues.
