In yet another major embarrassment to Sarbananda Sonowal led Assam government, youth icon of the State Zubeen Garg on Sunday said that he would return the remuneration taken for singing the propaganda song for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the last Assembly elections.

Zubeen took to Twitter to announce his unprecedented decision on Sunday.

In his official Twitter handle, the singing sensation wrote:

‘Wrote a letter to you few days back. Guess you are too busy counting the black flags to respond.

So, can I get the votes back that you earned using my voice in 2016?

I am ready to refund the remuneration.’

Dear Sarbananda Sonowal Da,

Wrote a letter to you few days back. Guess you are too busy counting the black flags to respond.

So, can I get the votes back that you earned using my voice in 2016?

I am ready to refund the remuneration.

— Zubeen Garg (@zubeengarg1) January 13, 2019

This surprise decision came in the light of the widespread protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 across the State.

Notably, Zubeen had written an open letter to Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal a few days back voicing his protest against the contentious citizenship bill.

In the emotionally charged letter, Zubeen had urged the State Chief Minister to rise to the occasion and stand in support of the sentiments of the people of the State and the Northeast.

In Sunday’s tweet, Zubeen was quite critical over the stoic silence that Sonowal has been maintaining, who was hailed as the champion of the Assamese people.
