GUWAHATI: The Trinamool Congress party from Bengal has lately been in controversy by making statements on various issues involving Assam.
The TMC has been sending party members and ministers to Assam and commenting on issues like the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 and the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
This time, it was the turn of cabinet minister Firhad Hakim who took the mantle from Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee.
Hakim, who was in Guwahati to pay homage to the dead in Dhola killings went to the extent to say, “If you stop me in Assam, I will stop in Bengal.”

Toeing the Trinamool party line Hakim was critical of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
“BJP is more dangerous than CPI(M). All they are doing is dividing the nation on various fronts,” said the Bengal minister.
Taking a jibe on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Hakim said that the PM talks about the size of his chest, he should be in wrestling.
