Religious leaders gathered outside MLA Asif Nazar's house in Assam, demanding the Congress party's exit and praising the AIUDF with slogans.
A group of ulama assembled at the residence of Assam legislator Asif Nazar, raising political slogans that called for the Congress party to leave and hailed the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF). The demonstration, reported by India Today NE, featured chants of "Congress go back" and "AIUDF Zindabad" directed at the MLA's doorstep.
The ulama, representing local religious communities, used the gathering to express discontent with the Congress' stance in the region while showing support for the AIUDF, a party with a strong base among minority voters in Assam. No violence was reported, and the protest remained confined to vocal slogans.
Authorities have not issued a formal statement on the incident, and it is unclear whether any legal action will follow. The event underscores the intertwining of religious sentiment and regional politics ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
The protest highlights the growing role of religious leaders in shaping political narratives in the northeastern state, where communal and party dynamics often intersect.
Further developments will depend on responses from the MLA, local administration, and the political parties involved.
