In another incident, seven people were killed by suspected militants in Kokrajhar which saw large scale ethnic violence between Bodos and Muslims two years ago.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday hit out at the Congress for "failing to protect the minorities" in Assam, after 32 people were killed in just over 24 hours in the districts of Kokrajhar, Baksa and Chirang. "In Assam, ... people have been killed. The life of minorities is not safe under Congress rule in Assam," Shahnawaz Hussain said. He demanded that the Congress reply to "what has happened in Assam today".
On Thursday, suspected Bodo militants killed 10 people in two separate incidents in Baksa and Kokrajhar. In the first incident, the militants shot dead three members of a family, including two women, and seriously injured an infant in the Baksa district on Thursday night.
In another incident, seven people were killed by suspected militants in Kokrajhar which saw large scale ethnic violence between Bodos and Muslims two years ago.

By Saturday morning, the toll had risen to 23, when nine more bodies were recovered, taking the death count to 32.
RTI activist Akhil Gogoi slammed the state government for inaction. "Assam is again heading for another ethnic cleansing. The Chief Minister has failed. The DGP should be removed," he said.
BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu asked, "Why is the PM silent on the issue? Why has the Congress president not gone there to visit them?"
The Congress remained guarded in its reaction, asking the state government to act swiftly. "The state government must act immediately. The affected families should be offered compensation. The government should heighten security in other areas," spokesperson Meem Afzal said.
The PM later condemned the attacks, saying these were "cowardly attempts to spread fear and terror among our citizens".
The Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has now demanded an NIA probe into the attacks.
