Earlier in the day, the senior Congress leader asserted that his party, if voted to power, will ensure that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is not implemented in the state.
Affirming that no religion teaches enmity, Gandhi, during his interaction with college students in Dibrugarh district, said the BJP was “selling hatred to create divisions among people”.
Gandhi, who is in Assam on a two-day visit, is scheduled to release the party’s manifesto on Saturday.
