In a dramatic turn during the Assam Assembly session, BJP MLA Bhabesh Kalita condemned Congress MLA Nurul Huda for allegedly attacking Deputy Speaker Numal Momin, calling it an attempt to 'destroy democracy.' The clash reflects rising tensions, with both parties trading accusations over democratic ethics.

In a contentious session of the Assam Assembly on Monday, BJP MLA Bhabesh Kalita criticized Congress MLA Nurul Huda for allegedly assaulting Deputy Speaker Numal Momin. Kalita accused the Congress party of violating democratic norms, suggesting that their actions threaten the very foundation of democracy.

During the Assembly's question hour, the alleged incident stirred significant controversy, with Minister Pijush Hazarika taking to social media to denounce the assault as an affront to the Assembly and Constitution. Hazarika emphasized that such behavior is intolerable, tarnishing Assam's democratic values.

Adding to the political discord, opposition MLAs from Congress and AIUDF protested against a BJP MLA's alleged misconduct, demanding accountability from the Speaker. This incident underscores escalating tensions and a deepening divide between Assam's leading political factions.
