Leader of Opposition Debabrata Saikia of the Congress raised the demand for the condemnation motion.

“He has insulted the entire state of Assam. How can we tolerate it? The assembly must adopt a condemnation motion against him,” Mr. Saikia said.

AIUDF legislator Rafiqul Islam supported the demand saying, “Does the government consider Dhubri a part of Assam? If so, the assembly should adopt a resolution against Trivedi.” Though Speaker Biswajit Daimary initially said he would place his views, the matter remained inconclusive as the proceedings moved on.
