Leader of the Opposition Debabrata Saikia and Independent MLA Akhil Gogoi had requested to move adjournment motions regarding the singer’s death. Before ruling on the motions, Chief Minister Sarma intervened, stating that the government shared the concern over Garg’s demise and requested that the motion be allowed. He also highlighted the urgency of introducing certain bills and supplementary grants, which needed to be placed in the House. Sarma assured that members from the Treasury benches would refrain from speaking on the motion, and the government would only provide its official response.

The Speaker approved the motion and directed that the bills and supplementary grants be introduced after the discussion on the singer’s death. He also urged members to avoid making comments that could interfere with the ongoing investigation into the case.

Zubeen Garg, a celebrated cultural icon of Assam, tragically passed away while swimming in Singapore on 19 September 2025. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Assam Police is actively probing the circumstances surrounding his death.

The approval of the adjournment motion underscores the widespread grief and concern over the singer’s untimely demise, while allowing the Assam Assembly to continue with its legislative agenda, ensuring that urgent government business proceeds alongside discussions on the incident.

Raising slogans and displaying placards, YSRCP members strongly opposed the move, insisting that the policy be scrapped to safeguard public healthcare and education.

The protest intensified as MLCs surrounded the podium, shouting slogans like “Cancel PPP policy” and demanding accountability from the Chandrababu Naidu-led government. Despite the uproar, Question Hour proceedings continued amid the chaos. Earlier in the day, the Chairman rejected YSRCP’s adjournment motion on the issue, leading to heightened demonstrations. With the situation turning disorderly, the Council was adjourned temporarily. The YSRCP asserted that it would continue to resist any attempts to hand over government medical colleges to private hands, calling the move anti-people.
