Amit Shah accuses Rahul Gandhi of disrespecting the North East by refusing to wear 'gamosa' at a Republic Day event.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday (January 30, 2026) accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of disrespecting the North East by refusing to wear 'gamosa', presented by President Droupadi Murmu at the 'At Home' reception hosted by her on Republic Day.
All dignitaries, including those from abroad, had worn the scarf as a mark of respect, but Mr. Gandhi was the "only person to refuse" to do so, Mr. Shah claimed, while addressing a public rally at the Khanikar Parade Ground in Dibrugarh.
''Rahul Gandhi can do whatever he wants, but as long as the BJP is in power, it will not allow any disrespect of the North East's culture'', he said.
Mr. Shah alleged that the Congress did nothing for Assam's development.
