GUWAHATI: Amid row over the Miya Museum at Sankardeva Kalakshetra in Guwahati, Congress MLA Rupjyoti Kurmi has demanded expulsion of Party MLA Sherman Ali Ahmed who had first raised the issue.
“Sherman Ali Ahmed should be expelled from the party. He has made the mistake with his personal statement. Therefore, he should get punishment. The party should either expel or deprives him of ticket,” Kurmi said.
The Baghbar legislator proposed to set up a Miya Museum at Sankardeva Kalakshetra which was established as a part of the historic Assam Accord. The controversial proposal of Sherman drew widespread condemnation and protests across the state.
Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) and several indigenous bodies vehemently opposed the move terming it as detrimental to Assamese culture and heritage.
