On September 16, 2017 Gyanen Chakravarty uploaded videos and photographs of placards of Bajrang Dal (right-wing ideology organisation) inside the AASU office in Jagiroad, Morigaon district in Facebook. These photographs and video went viral. Mr. Chakravarty wrote in the post that "I am leaving it to the people of Assam to judge the issue". AASU claimed that placards have been kept inside the AASU office intentionally to defame AASU.
