Rahul Gandhi accuses Assam authorities of preventing his visit to the Batadrava Satra Temple, birthplace of Assamese saint Srimanta Sankardeva. Questioning the restrictions, he asserts the desire to pray without causing issues. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma urged a reconsideration, citing potential clashes with the Ayodhya Ram Temple ceremony. Gandhi states PM Modi will decide temple visitors, triggering a sit-in protest. Sarma emphasizes avoiding conflict between ceremonies, fearing an adverse impact on Assam's image. Congress announces nationwide protests, alleging planned attacks during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Assam, labeling Sarma as "the most corrupt chief minister in India."
