Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has instructed the Director General of Police (DGP) to register a case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly "provoking the crowd" during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Rahul Gandhi, leading the yatra, claimed interference in his interaction with students in Meghalaya, attributing it to Union Home Minister's instructions via the Assam CM's office. The opposition leader in Assam legislative assembly, Debabrata Saikia, has urged the Governor to order a judicial probe into the physical assault on state Congress president Bhupen Bora and the unruly behavior of alleged BJP cadres during the yatra. A clash between Assam Police and Congress workers occurred in Guwahati, further escalating tensions.
