Politicising’ Zubeen Garg’s death backfired on Congress : Himanta

way2barak, May 21: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday claimed that the Congress-led Opposition paid the price for “politicising” musician Zubeen Garg’s death in the Assembly polls as they were rejected by the people.

He visited Garg’s cremation ground, ‘Zubeen Khetra’ at Kamarakuchi in Sonapur on the outskirts of Guwahati to pay tribute to the musician who died in Singapore on September 19 last year while swimming in the sea.

Sarma mentioned that there should be no politics in the name of Zubeen Garg. Himanta said, “As promised, after the dust of the elections settled, I visited the site today purely as a tribute to someone who, for us, is evergreen. He was never a matter of politics, but an emotion that lives in every heart.”
