Samsul Huda, an MLA from the East Bilasipara constituency in Assam’s Dhubri district, represents the All India United Democratic Front (AIDUF) led by Badruddin Ajmal. He was invited to inaugurate a plaque for a bridge under construction.
A video from Assam’s Dhubri district has gone viral, showing an MLA not delivering a speech but engaging in an unexpected act—something one wouldn’t expect from a public representative. The video captures the MLA involved in a physical altercation and hurling abuses.
Samsul Huda was scheduled to cut a ribbon at the bridge inauguration ceremony. A pink ribbon was tied between two banana plants for the occasion. However, he became furious upon realizing that the ceremonial ribbon was not red. The video shows the enraged MLA grabbing a man’s collar and slapping him. His anger didn’t stop there—he uprooted the banana plants set for the ceremony and swung them like a mace, attacking a person reportedly associated with the bridge contractor. Witnessing the MLA’s aggressive behavior, the onlookers were left in shock.
A Relevant Anecdote
The report ends here, but here’s an interesting anecdote. A while ago, a video of former Prime Minister Chandrashekhar delivering a speech in Parliament went viral. In it, he recited a verse:
“The hands that have the power to crown a ruler also have the power to remove one.”
This statement should not be taken literally but symbolically. It highlights the essence of democracy—where the same public that elects a leader to power also has the authority to remove them through their vote.
