Preparations to impose NSA
The Chief Minister had said in a press conference in Guwahati last week that some of those who have been arrested on charges of treason will also be charged under the National Security Act (NSA). He clearly said that anyone who speaks against India or stands in support of the enemy country will be given strict punishment under the law.
