Zubair Anam’s Absence from Assam Cong Committee Fuels Political Speculation

Guwahati: The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee’s upcoming Youth Conclave has generated political discussion even before the programme gets underway, following the notable absence of Assam Pradesh Youth Congress president and Algapur–Katlicherra MLA Zubair Anam Majumdar from the event’s organising committee.

The Youth Conclave is scheduled to be held in Guwahati during the first week of September and is being planned under the leadership of APCC president Gaurav Gogoi. The proposed event is expected to focus on issues concerning young people, greater youth participation in politics, new ideas and the role of the younger generation in nation-building.

However, the announcement of the organising panel has drawn particular attention because of the omission of the state Youth Congress chief. According to the APCC’s announcement, responsibility for organising the conclave has been assigned to MLA Dr Jay Prakash Das, former MLA Satyabrata Kalita, Jayanta Khaound, NSUI president Kaushik Kashyap, Ashik Iqbal, Palakshi Das, Birinchi Bora and Kuldeep Rajbongshi.

The absence of Majumdar has raised eyebrows within political circles, particularly because the event is centred on youth mobilisation. As the head of the Assam Pradesh Youth Congress, Majumdar has been associated with organisational programmes and efforts aimed at engaging young voters and party workers across the state.

Speculation about differences between Gogoi and Majumdar has reportedly surfaced following the Assam Assembly elections. However, there is currently no confirmed evidence establishing that any alleged differences between the two leaders were responsible for Majumdar’s exclusion from the committee.

At present, the Congress leadership has not publicly indicated any political reason for the composition of the organising panel. The conclave itself remains a party initiative intended to strengthen youth engagement and provide a platform for discussions on issues affecting the younger generation.

With the detailed agenda and venue still awaited, attention is likely to remain focused on the participation of senior and youth leaders. Whether Majumdar plays a role in the final programme, despite not being included in the organising committee, remains to be seen.
