Congress slams Assam for detaining activist Pranab Doley under NSA a day after bail
On August 2, 2026, Congress slammed the Assam government for detaining indigenous rights activist Pranab Doley under the National Security Act (NSA) a day after he was granted bail. Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary, accused the BJP of misusing preventive detention laws to silence dissent, citing protests against a proposed five-star resort near Kaziranga National Park since 2022. Doley's NSA detention order cited vague allegations including suspicious foreign transactions. The Assam government invoked the NSA on July 30, ensuring his continued incarceration in Golaghat district jail despite court orders granting him bail.
