Diphu : The Karbi Anglong District Congress Committee and Mahila Congress staged a sit-in demonstration today at the entrance of the Karbi Anglong Sports Association stadium, starting at 11 a.m.

The protest was in response to a viral video circulating on social media, allegedly showing Diphu MLA Bidyasing Engleng in a compromising situation with a woman. Congress leaders, including Charisma Rongpipi, media panelist for the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC), condemned the MLA’s alleged actions as inappropriate, immoral and unacceptable for a public representative.

They demanded accountability, stating that such incidents undermine the dignity of the people’s mandate and tarnish the reputation of political institutions. The protesters called for immediate action and vowed to continue their agitation until ethical standards in public life are restored and public trust in democracy is safeguarded.

The All Party Hills Leaders Conference (APHLC) and the Women Karbi Students’ Association (WKSA) also condemned the MLA’s alleged conduct. During a press meet, JI Kathar, President of APHLC, urged the Governor, Chief Minister, and Assam Legislative Assembly Speaker to expel the MLA and take appropriate action under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNSS) sections.

Local residents expressed their disapproval by putting up posters across prime locations in Diphu town, criticizing the MLA and calling for higher ethical standards in public life. The netizens’ protests reflect growing public outrage and a collective demand for accountability from elected representatives.
