Assam Assembly Speaker Considers Releasing Video of MLA Akhil Gogoi's Desk-Climbing Incident
Assam Assembly Speaker Ranjeet Kumar Dass criticized MLA Akhil Gogoi for climbing onto his desk during a session, considering it inappropriate. Dass is contemplating releasing video footage of the incident. The Speaker emphasized that social media narratives about the Assembly's proceedings, including disallowed adjournment motions on flood relief, should not be discussed within the House. Opposition Leader Wazed Ali Choudhury and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pijush Hazarika highlighted concerns over misleading social media claims and Gogoi's external statements. Dass allowed Gogoi a brief opportunity to raise flood issues given his constituency's impact.
