Politics is at its peak with the announcement of assembly election dates in Assam. Congress has suffered a big blow before the elections, senior party leader and Lok Sabha MP Pradyut Bordoloi has resigned from the party. The Congress MP wrote in his resignation letter, ‘With extreme sadness, I am today resigning from all posts, privileges and primary membership of the Indian National Congress. Earlier he had warned the party leadership that if Lahorighat MLA Asif Mohammad Nazar is re-nominated in the upcoming Assam Assembly elections, he may resign from the Congress. In a strong letter to AICC general secretary in-charge of Assam Jitendra Singh, Bordoloi had expressed “sorrow and anguish” over the alleged incompetence of the party leadership on the serious allegations related to Nazar.

The accused was welcomed as a hero

Nagaon MP Bordoloi had referred to the suo motu investigation conducted by the Assam Police, which resulted in the arrest and chargesheet of Imdadul Islam, whom he described as a close associate of Nazar. Bordoloi alleged that Islam was involved in the violent attack on him and his colleague Sibamony Bora in Dumdumiya, Dhing in April 2025, where around 20 armed men allegedly attacked them. According to Bordoloi, after being granted bail, the accused was given a “hero’s welcome”, which he said was organized by Nazar. Islam was later taken to Gaurav Gogoi’s residence and felicitated at an event on January 11, 2026.
