The Indian National Congress has formally asked the Bharatiya Janata Party to issue an apology after the Assam Chief Minister visited Himachal Pradesh, citing the visit as a political affront.
The Congress party has issued a formal demand for an apology from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following the visit of the Assam Chief Minister to Himachal Pradesh. The party’s spokesperson said the visit was a deliberate political statement that undermined the state’s autonomy.
In a press release, Congress leaders criticised the BJP for what they described as a “political provocation” and called for a formal response. The party also urged the central government to intervene and clarify the intent behind the visit.
The Assam Chief Minister’s trip to Himachal was part of a broader tour of northern states, but Congress has framed it as a challenge to the state’s governance. The BJP has yet to issue a response to the demand for an apology.
