After Udharbond, "Sushmita Dev Murdabad" slogans in Sonai; "BJP sponsored activities," Congress leaders

Yesterday, it was in Madhuraghat Udharbond, today, in Sonai. “Sushmita Dev Murdabad” slogans continue in Congress meetings in the district. In presence of AICC general secretary and former Minister, Jitendra Singh, Sushmita Dev Murdabad Slogans are raised again and again.

Yesterday, ex-NSUI’s Cachar president Javed Laskar raised Sushmita Dev murdabad slogans and today it was done by former Youth Congress Vice President of Cachar, Ansar Hussain Barlaskar. While Sushmita Dev was delivering her speech in Sonai’s meeting, Ansar Hussain along with few others started raising Murdabad slogans.

Immediately, the former member of parliament’s supporters retaliated and started countering with Sushmita Dev Zindabad slogans. The situation became intense as the two groups started physically attacking each other. What comes as an astonishment is that the security officials present there did not intervene.

The frequent disruptions in the meetings are hijacking the media coverage that Jitendra Singh’s visit would have otherwise got. “This is a BJP sponsored activity,” said former minister and veteran Congress leader, Siddek Ahmed. He added, “Yesterday, it was sponsored by Rajdeep Goala and today the brawl and sloganeering was influenced by Aminul Haque Laskar.” A section of the senior Congress leaders said they feel Himanta Biswa Sarma is the mastermind behind all these activities.

Sushmita Dev said the Murdabad slogans are not impacting her. “I am here to serve and work for the people and nothing can demotivate me,” said the National President of Mahila Congress. She added, “I saw 5000 people raising Sushmita Dev Zindabad Slogans and that is what matters to me.”

If this is how intense the warmup to the 2021 battle is, the election will indeed be a high voltage one.
