The protest also highlighted the death of Assam Youth Congress member Mridul Islam, allegedly caused by Assam Police and the detention of Youth Congress leaders Zubair Anam and Uday Bhanu Chib in Guwahati.

Lima Lemtur, President of the Nagaland Pradesh Youth Congress (NPYC), condemned the incident, stating that it was a grave misuse of power and a direct attack on democratic values. Additionally, the NPCC condemned the allegations made by S Phangnon Konyak, MP (Rajya Sabha), against leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi.
