Assam: Protest erupts in Dhubri as Congress workers decry attack on MP Rakibul Hussain 

Congress workers gathered at the Dhubri District Congress Office on Thursday, February 20, voicing strong opposition to the recent assault on MP Rakibul Hussain in Rupahihat, Nagaon district. 

Hussain was on his way to a party meeting in Gunabari when a group of masked attackers intercepted his convoy. The assailants, waving black flags, launched a physical attack, sparking outrage among party members.  

Dhubri District Congress President Abedur Zaman denounced the assault, calling it a direct attack on democracy. He urged party members to stand united and demanded a thorough investigation to hold those responsible accountable.  

The incident has deepened political tensions in the region, with Congress leaders accusing their rivals of orchestrating intimidation tactics against opposition voices. As the probe continues, the party has intensified its demand for justice and greater protection for political leaders in Assam.
