On Monday (24th March), Assam Congress MLA Nurul Huda courted controversy by physically attacking the Deputy Speaker outside the Vidhan Sabha.
The Deputy Speaker, Numal Momin, is a member of the ruling BJP. In a viral video, Huda could be seen approaching the Assam Deputy Speaker and assaulting him in broad daylight.
He was later admitted to a hospital. The development was confirmed by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

“I got a WhatsApp from Momin that he was attacked by Nurul Huda and he is now hospitalised. I request the Speaker to file a police case as it happened outside the House and then police will investigate it. This will set a bad precedence that an indigenous tribal has been attacked inside the Assembly complex. This is going to be a big issue,” Sarma told PTI.
