Guwahati, Mar 30: A day after it accused the ruling Congress of indulging in horse-trading during Friday's Rajya Sabha election, the Opposition today staged a peaceful sit-in demanding dismissal of the Tarun Gogoi government.
Almost the entire Opposition sat with placards at the main entrance of the Assam assembly as soon as the House assembled in the morning.
Some of the placards read: 'Save democracy', 'Democracy has been murdered', 'Chief minister Tarun Gogoi resign', 'Dismiss Tarun Gogoi government', 'Disqualify the dissident MLAs'.
Opposition leader Chandra Mohan Patowary told reporters that the sit-in was held to save democracy in the state, where allegedly "money politics had been introduced by the Congress for the first time to win Rajya Sabha seats"
