Goalpara, Nov 7: Bhupen Borah, the president of the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), issued a show-cause notice on Tuesday to Goalpara MLA Aftab Uddin Mollah for making a derogatory remark against Hindu Priests, including Namgharias.
This follows an FIR lodged by a Guwahati resident, who alleged that Mollah’s speech had incited religious enmity and could disrupt public peace. Notably, Mollah made the controversial comment during a public meeting in Goalpara district on November 4, 2023, which has sparked widespread criticism across Assam.
