Amit Shah's Guwahati Roadshow Disrupted by Protests Demanding Justice for Late Singer Zubeen Garg

Union Home Minister Amit Shah ’s roadshow in Guwahati on Saturday, held ahead of the Assam Assembly elections, witnessed protests by fans of the late singer Zubeen Garg , who raised slogans demanding justice. A group of youths reportedly waved gamosas with “Justice for Zubeen Garg” written on them and chanted “Joi Zubeen Da” as the roadshow moved from Arya Vidyapeeth College field towards the Nepali Mandir area in the city. Security personnel, however, intervened and took away the gamosas from the protesters, citing security protocols. Shah is on a visit to Assam ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled to be held in a single phase on April 9. He arrived in Guwahati after campaigning in West Bengal and was received at the airport by State BJP president Dilip Saikia , along with party leaders including Bhubaneswar Kalita. From the airport, the Union Home Minister proceeded to participate in the roadshow and is scheduled to attend a party meeting at the BJP State headquarters, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Bhawan, later in the evening. He is also slated to address two Vijay Sankalp Samaroh programmes in Dhekiajuli and Tihu on Sunday as part of the party’s campaign outreach.
