CPI(M) Calls July 4 Protest Over Garukhuti Gir Cow Scam

CPI(M) has announced a statewide protest on July 4, demanding a judicial probe into alleged irregularities in Assam’s Garukhuti Gir cow project. Party leaders cited conflicting data from RTIs, Assembly records, and media reports on cow procurement, distribution, and deaths. They also demanded the removal of Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah, alleging a suspicious rise in his wife’s farm income, possibly linked to Jal Jeevan Mission funds.
