A political controversy has erupted in Assam after a Congress member, Vidhu Bhushan Das,\u00a0 sang Bangladesh\u2019s national anthem, Amar Sonar Bangla, during a party meeting in Sribhumi on October 27. The incident occurred during an executive meeting of the Congress Sevadal, organised by the party\u2019s Sribhumi District Committee at Indira Bhavan.<\/p>\n

Sribhumi, which shares a border with Bangladesh, has a significant Bengali-speaking population. However, the incident has drawn sharp criticism from the BJP, which accused the Congress of engaging in appeasement politics.<\/p>\n

BJP MLA Krishnendu Paul condemned the act, alleging that the Congress \u201calways has sympathy for Bangladesh and Bangladeshis.”<\/p>\n

Assam Health Minister Ashok Singhal shared the video showing Das singing the anthem on X. In a post on X, he wrote, \u201cBangladesh\u2019s national anthem \u201cAmar Sonar Bangla” sung at a Congress meeting in Sribhumi, Assam \u2013 the same country that wants to separate the Northeast from India! Now it\u2019s clear why Congress, for decades, allowed and encouraged illegal Miya infiltration into Assam \u2013 to change the state\u2019s demography for vote-bank politics creating a \u201cGreater Bangladesh.”<\/p>\n

The Assam BJP questioned whether this was a coincidence or an attempt to appease the Bangladesh-origin Muslim vote bank ahead of the 2026 assembly elections, pointing out that it comes amid Dhaka\u2019s controversial map claiming parts of Northeast India.<\/p>\n

\u201cBangladesh government intends to include Northeast in their imaginary map and Congress leaders sing Bangladeshi anthems, it is an issue which needs to be answered by the grand old party,” the state BJP said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe signs couldn\u2019t be louder. Just days ago Bangladesh dared to publish a map swallowing the entire Northeast and now the Bangladesh-obsessed Congress is proudly singing Bangladesh\u2019s national anthem right here in Assam.<\/p>\n

If after this someone still can\u2019t see the agenda at play, then they\u2019re either blind, complicit or both,” BJP\u2019s Assam unit tweeted.<\/p>\n

The Congress has not issued an official clarification, but the incident has triggered a fresh political row in the state.<\/p>\n
