Zubeen said, " Priyanka Chopra is not suited to be the brand ambassador of Assam Tourism. Priyanka doesn't know much about Assam, she doesn't belong to Assam. Why is the Tourism Department portraying only Priyanka in the advertisement? Does Awesome Assam mean only Priyanka?".

Speaking  about the Citizenship Amendment Bill at the same stage, the singing star expressing his disquiet on Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal's role in not opposing the implementation of the bill.
