Condemning the incident, AJP has alleged that the BJP was directly involved in the attack. “It shows the frustration of the BJP and it proves that the party is jittery of the AJP’s rise in the state,” the AJP said reacting to the attack.

The AJP had earlier too alleged that the BJP had tried to prevent AJP and Raijor Dal from holding public meetings in lower Assam.

The AJP and the Raijor Dal have been floated on the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 plank.
