GUWAHATI: PM Narendra Modi on Thursday latched on to AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal s act of flinging a traditional Assamese gamosa (scarf) at a party worker during a rally the previous day as an affront to Assam s identity that would cost the Congress-led grand alliance dear in the polls. The entire state of Assam saw in a video yesterday how the identity of Assam and the symbol of the hard work of our Assamese sisters – the gamosa – was publicly insulted. Everyone who loves Assam is hurt and angry after seeing the footage. Congress and the mahajot will bear the punishment for this insult, Modi said while campaigning in Kokrajhar for the third phase of the assembly polls.
