Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday promised swift action in the Zubeen Garg death case, saying the accused would be punished within 100 days if the Congress comes to power in Assam.
Addressing an election rally in Biswanath district, Gandhi said, “We guarantee that within 100 days, we will punish the accused in the Zubeen Garg case and action will be taken.”
Invoking the singer’s legacy, Gandhi said the Congress ideology reflects the late singer’s message of unity and harmony.
“Zubeen Garg worked his entire life to unite people of Assam, he never misbehaved with anyone. The Congress philosophy is also like that, to spread love against hatred,” he said.
