At Kokrajhar, three members of the BPF said it was not the party but the “people who love Mohilary” who had expressed their anguish against the newspaper for publishing “untrue” things about the wedding. “The people who love Mohilary felt offended at the manner in which the newspaper wrote nasty things about a solemn ceremony,” Malati Rani Narzary, a senior member of the BPF said.

Mohilary’s wedding reception on Saturday was attended by several ministers. “Asomiya Pratidin” accused Mohilary of misusing the official machinery of the state government and that of the Council to organise a grand reception, which was held in a huge pandal at Debargaon near Kokrajhar. The guests were not only treated to live music but also a comedy show by actor Johny Lever, the newspaper reported.
