The transcripts of the video that is going around are along these lines: How are you carrying beef? Do you have a license? Are you a Bangladeshi? Is your name on the NRC?
Reacting to this incident, Asaduddin Owaisi tweeted:
I know many people who feel they’re desensitized because of the number of lynchings in the last 5 years.

I am not, each video infuriates me & saddens me
It’s irrelevant that beef is legal in Assam, lynching an innocent old man is illegal in every part of India https://t.co/aqx8LqQjki
Not that one needs to say this, but reminding @sarbanandsonwal that he’s taken an oath on something called the Constitution of India. He’s obliged to protect the lives of everyone who lives in Assam
— Asaduddin Owaisi (@asadowaisi) April 8, 2019
Owaisi asked Assam CM Sonowal to take action and said that he's 'obliged to protect the lives of everyone who lives in Assam'. He also pointed out that beef consumption is legal in Assam. Biswananth district is part of Tezpur Lok Sabha constituency which is slated to poll on 11th April.
