In yet another instance of political aggression, Assam Congress MLA Nurul Huda physically assaulted Deputy Speaker Numal Momin outside the Vidhan Sabha on Monday, March 24. The shocking attack, captured on video, shows Nurul Huda brazenly approaching and striking Numal Momin in broad daylight, sparking outrage across the state.
The ruling BJP has strongly condemned the incident, with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirming that Momin had to be hospitalized following the attack. Sarma expressed deep concern over the implications of the act, stating, “I got a WhatsApp from Momin that he was attacked by Nurul Huda and he is now hospitalised. I request the Speaker to file a police case as it happened outside the House, and then police will investigate it. This will set a bad precedent that an indigenous tribal has been attacked inside the Assembly complex. This is going to be a big issue.”
The attack has raised serious concerns about the Congress party’s conduct and its growing inclination towards lawlessness. The incident highlights the party’s desperation and intolerance, especially when confronted with its declining influence in Assam. This is not the first time that Congress leaders have resorted to violence and intimidation when faced with political adversity. From verbal abuse to physical aggression, Congress members have repeatedly demonstrated a lack of respect for democratic values.
Calls for Strict Action Against Nurul Huda
Following the attack, BJP leaders and concerned citizens are demanding strict legal action against Nurul Huda. Many believe that such an unprovoked and disgraceful act should not go unpunished, as it sets a dangerous precedent for Indian politics. With Congress embroiled in yet another controversy, the party’s declining credibility and resort to aggression signal its inability to function within the democratic framework. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the chaotic and undisciplined politics Congress continues to engage in, even as it faces growing rejection by the electorate.
