Earlier, Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi on Wednesday demanded that late musician Zubeen Garg be conferred the posthumous Bharat Ratna.
Raising the demand in the ongoing winter session of Parliament, Gogoi, MP from Jorhat Lok Sabha constituency and Deputy Leader of Opposition Lok Sabha, stated that Zubeen Garg was a great artist, an environmentalist and wildlife enthusiast, a profound scholar, and a humanitarian.
The Congress MP said, "In the 90s, the great artist Zubeen Garg infused energy among all the people of Assam through his songs and music. In the subsequent period, Zubeen Garg provided moral courage to Assam and its people and became the backbone of the Assamese people."
Gogoi also demanded in Parliament that justice must be done to the beloved artist of Assam. In this regard, he said, "Zubeen was invited to and attended a function organised by the Ministry of External Affairs and the High Commission of Singapore. And it was there that he met with a mysterious death."
The popular singer from Assam died in Singapore on September 19. (ANI)
