Congress Braces For Treason Charge As Bangladesh Anthem Row Heightens
The controversy over a Congress district-level leader reciting Bangladesh's national anthem has heightened, with the Assam government taking legal action over what it claims is an endorsement of narratives from across the border.
The Congress leadership in Sribhumi district is likely to be charged with treason, said sources, after Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma directed Assam Police to take strict action over the incident.
Hitting back, the Congress said that the BJP was creating an "unnecessary controversy" as it had no other issue to divert people's attention.
