Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma’s troubles may increase. CPI(M) and CPI leaders have now approached the Supreme Court seeking action against him. Senior lawyer Nizam Pasha, representing the petitioner, has requested an early hearing. The CJI remarked that as elections approach, a portion of the election is contested in the Supreme Court.
Request for Immediate Intervention
The petitioners’ lawyer mentioned the matter before the CJI, stating, “We are seeking this court’s immediate intervention. Extremely disturbing speeches made by the current Chief Minister of Assam have surfaced. A recently posted video shows him firing on members of a particular community. Complaints have been filed in this regard, but no FIR has been registered so far.”
The CJI made these remarks
The CJI remarked, “The problem is that as elections approach, a portion of the election is contested in the Supreme Court. That is the problem.” We will consider it and set a date.
This comment has caused a lot of uproar
Himanta Biswa Sarma’s recent statements have caused a lot of uproar. Last week, he called the Congress party a sympathizer of Bangladeshi infiltrators and said it should clarify whether it stands with the Assamese people or the “Miyan” community. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a government event in Golaghat, he said, “The Congress party should clarify whether it stands with the Assamese people or the “Miyan” community. Miyan refers to people who have come from Bangladesh.” “Miyan” is primarily used to refer to Bengali-speaking Muslims in Assam. Non-Bengali speakers generally consider them Bangladeshi immigrants.
Sharma said that the “Miyan” initially settled in western parts of Assam, such as Barpeta and Dhubri, near the Bangladesh border, but have now spread to the cities of Duliajan and Margherita, located on the eastern edge of Assam. “How will we survive?” the Chief Minister asked. They have grabbed 1 million acres of land. Where will we go?” He said, “People will question the Congress whether they are with the ‘Miyan’ or the ‘Assamese’ people.”
Controversy Over Video
Himanta Biswa Sharma also became embroiled in controversy over a video. The Assam unit of the BJP posted a video on social media, X, which allegedly showed Sharma aiming a rifle at two people and firing it. In the alleged video, one man is wearing a cap and the other has a beard, and the caption reads “Point Blank Shot.”
