Prasanta Phukan, A BJP MLA in Assam, stirred a controversy with his objectionable comment on the Muslim Community. While sharing views on the voter pattern among Muslims during the ongoing Lok Sabha Polls, The Legislator opined: '90 percent of Hindus voted for BJP but 90 percent of Muslims didn't vote for BJP. What is the point of feeding a cow fodder if it doesn't give milk?'.
After his comment sparked a controversy, Prasanta Phukan denied calling the Muslim Community 'cow'. He explained, 'My intention was to say...seeking votes from the Muslims is of no use'.
Assam Congress Opposition Leader Debabrata Saikia has written to the Assembly Speaker seeking action against Prasanta Phukan for describing the Muslim Community as unproductive cattle.
The MLA who made controversial comments is representing Dibrugarh Constituency in Assam. Will BJP take any action on its legislator or remains a mere spectator?
