Six Held for Throwing Water Bottle at Assam CM’s Convoy in Golaghat

A day after a plastic water bottle was hurled at Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma's convoy in Golaghat, police detained six people, including Congress leaders Pallab Chetia and Rahul Phukan. BJP MLA Biswajit Phukan condemned the act as disruptive politics by Congress, while Minister Prasanta Phukan termed it a serious security breach. The BJP staged protests in Dibrugarh, demanding action and an apology. Congress denied involvement, claiming the accused Youth Congress members were detained earlier during a peaceful protest unrelated to the incident. The episode has triggered a political blame game between BJP and Congress in the state.
