He added that the CM is also engaged in the drama related to the museum.
“Assam and its culture are not so weak that such a small issue would trample it. It is only the CM who is trying to portray it to mislead the people”, he added.

He said that instead of the Miyan Museum, the government should now take initiative to set up a Bengali Museum since more than 85 per cent of people vote for it.
“They can set it up anywhere near Guwahati and then somewhere in Silchar’, he said.
