Assam Congress Suspends 15 Members for Three Years Over Indiscipline

The state committee of the Indian National Congress in Assam announced the expulsion of fifteen party functionaries, including senior leaders and grassroots workers, for a term of three years. The disciplinary action was taken after the party cited repeated instances of indiscipline that threatened its organisational cohesion. Officials said the decision aims to reinforce internal order and send a clear message that breaches of party conduct will not be tolerated. The expelled members will be barred from holding any party position or participating in Congress activities until the suspension period ends. The move comes as the party seeks to restructure its state unit ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
