Wife of late singer Zubeen Garg, Garima Saikia Garg, visited the Zubeen Kshetra in Sonapur, in a bid to mark Bishnu Rabha Divas - the death anniversary of freedom fighter Kalaguru Bishnu Prasad Rabha.

Speaking to ANI, Garima Garg shared how her late husband was inspired by Kalaguru and would try to follow his ideology.

"If Zubin had been here, he would have celebrated Kalaguru in any way or anywhere in the state. He was always inspired by Kalaguru...we are following his footsteps, and trying to maintain his ideology...there will be recitations, music," she said.

Earlier in the day, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma paid his tributes on Bishnu Rabha Divas.

"Kalaguru Bishnu Prasad Rabha was one of the doyens of the greater Assamese society. A freedom fighter and a multifaceted genius, his contributions to Assam went far beyond culture. He touched upon every pertinent issue concerning society and espoused the cause of a strong Assam. Today, on Bishnu Rabha Divas, I paid my tributes to this icon of Assam. On the sidelines, I also ceremonially honoured eminent personalities with state awards in recognition of their contributions to Assam," he wrote in an X post.

Meanwhile, Garima Garg also spoke about the ongoing hearing in the death case of the late singer, Zubeen Garg.

"I hope the case is going in the right direction. The SIT has already submitted the charge sheet against the accused. Now, with all the proofs and witnesses, we have to get a definite result and the exact final word from the court...they have been trying to get bail...the Advocate General has established the exact reasons why they shouldn't be granted bail. Our prosecution is doing its best, so we are hopeful," she added. (ANI)
