The Indian National Congress party has formally alleged that police officers manhandled a former Chief Minister of Assam during a protest held in Guwahati. The demonstration was staged by party members to express their opposition to the treatment of various opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) by police in Delhi earlier this week.

While the Congress party maintains that the police response in Guwahati was aggressive and targeted their leadership, official police statements regarding the specific conduct of officers during the event have not yet been provided. The incident in Guwahati is part of a broader series of protests occurring across the country, as the Congress party seeks to highlight what it describes as a pattern of state-sponsored intimidation against political opponents. The situation remains tense as both local party leaders and law enforcement officials have yet to reach a consensus on the events that transpired during the confrontation. As of now, there are no reports of major injuries, though the allegations of physical manhandling remain a central point of contention between the party and local authorities.
