Assam Government Pledges Support for Zubeen Garg Tribute Amid Opposition Criticism
The Assam government, through Cultural Affairs Minister Bimal Borah, pledged full support for programmes honoring late musician Zubeen Garg on September 19, coordinating with his family and the Kalaguru Foundation. Borah praised Garg's cultural contributions and noted his unfinished aspirations. However, opposition leader Lurinjyoti Gogoi of Assam Jatiya Parishad criticized the government’s preparations as insufficient and called for timely completion of Garg’s memorial and Samadhi Kshetra projects, urging proactive action beyond responding to criticism.
