May 19, 2026
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, in a post on X, said, "The Dark Chapter of Congress 64. On May 19, 1961, a conspiracy was hatched by then-Prime Minister Nehru Ji and the Congress-led Assam state government to divide Assam into fragments, settle Bangladeshi Muslims, and create distance between local Assamese people and the war with China. In the 1960s, violence erupted in the name of language not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Assam."
