Overview
- The dispute stems from a May 21 party review meeting at Rajiv Bhawan where APCC president Gaurav Gogoi questioned Youth Congress chief Zubair Anam Mazumdar after Mazumdar arrived roughly 30 minutes late.
- Two MLAs — Asif Md. Nazar and Abdus Sobahan Ali Sarkar — have formally written to the Indian Youth Congress president seeking disciplinary action against Mazumder for allegedly raising his voice and breaching party discipline.
- A separate representation reportedly signed by about 25 Congress members has sought Gaurav Gogoi’s removal as APCC president on grounds of selective treatment during the meeting.
- Multiple reports say the All India Congress Committee has received the representations and constituted a one‑member committee to ascertain facts while party leaders including Mazumdar and Jakir Hussain Sikdar publicly deny any lasting rift.
- The episode could shape who controls organisational appointments and campaign duties in Assam and may affect party cohesion and candidate selection in coming local contests, so watch for the committee’s findings and any AICC directives.
