Guwahati: On Sunday, senior Congress leader of Assam Nilamoni Sen Deka stirred controversy by referring Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Smriti Irani as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s second wife. Irani also added that the BJP would fight the Congress in the state assembly polls and “ensure that the lotus (BJP’s symbol) will bloom in the state”.

Gauthier said press freedom in China was “in great danger” and it was not just the global media that were being repressed. Knife-wielding assailants killed 29 people at a train station in the southern city of Kunming in March previous year .
This led to unruly scenes which forced police to burst tear gas shells. “Is Congress leadership headed by a woman protecting him?”
However, Assam Congress spokesperson Ripon Bora said if Deka has made such statements, it is condemnable.
State Congress president Anjan Dutta, addressing a press conference here, said the comments were made by Mr Deka in his personal capacity and the party was not linked to it.
“They (BJP workers) threw stones and injured 25 Congress leaders, including seven seriously and damaged three vehicles”, he said.
Sendeka had made the comment at a public meeting at Nalbari yesterday on the eve of Irani’s visit. After he has apologised why resort to violence? “So the chief minister should apologise in front of the people of Assam”, Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal told reporters. He said Congress has urged Guwahati police commissioner to find out how the protest rally was taken without police permission.

He said the Congress will also launch similar protests on BJP offices in the state if the Opposition party continues targeting the Congress.
