Notably, MLAs from the opposition parties in Assam, on Monday, had staged a walkout from the Assembly in protest against Speaker’s decision to reject the adjournment motion moved by the Congress for discussion on alleged drone survey by Meghalaya along the inter-state boundary.
Commenting on the recent clashes between Assam and Mizoram along the inter-state border, the Congress blamed both the state governments for escalation of tensions.
“We witnessed chief ministers of the two states (Assam and Mizoram) engage in a war of words on social media. Such an engagement only incited violence,” Assam Congress leader Bobbeeta Sharma said.
