"Kalaguru Bishnu Prasad Rabha was one of the doyens of the greater Assamese society. A freedom fighter and a multifaceted genius, his contributions to Assam went far beyond culture. He touched upon every pertinent issue concerning society and espoused the cause of a strong Assam. Today, on Bishnu Rabha Divas, I paid my tributes to this icon of Assam. On the sidelines, I also ceremonially honoured eminent personalities with state awards in recognition of their contributions to Assam," he wrote in an X post.
Meanwhile, Garima Garg also spoke about the ongoing hearing in the death case of the late singer, Zubeen Garg.
"I hope the case is going in the right direction. The SIT has already submitted the charge sheet against the accused. Now, with all the proofs and witnesses, we have to get a definite result and the exact final word from the court...they have been trying to get bail...the Advocate General has established the exact reasons why they shouldn't be granted bail. Our prosecution is doing its best, so we are hopeful," she added.
