Assam Deputy Speaker attacked by Cong MLA, Himanta claims

GUWAHATI, March 24: The Assam Assembly on Monday witnessed uproarious scenes with the ruling BJP alleging that Deputy Speaker Numal Momin was attacked by Congress MLA Nurul Huda just outside the House, leading to adjournment.
Huda, however, claimed he did not assault Momin but blocked the way to the House during a protest.
“I received a WhatsApp message from Momin in which he said he was attacked by Nurul Huda and he is now hospitalised. I request the Speaker to register a police complaint as it happened outside the House and let the police investigate the matter,” Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said during the Question Hour.
Led by Sarma, the treasury bench alleged that Momin, a tribal, was attacked by the opposition. Moments before that, Momin was seen sitting inside the House and attending the session. He left the House after some time.
Speaker Biswajit Daimary said he has asked the officials to check the matter.
