Assam CM Raises Concerns Over Rising Crimes Post-Election

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted concerns over rising criminal activities by a section of people from 'a particular religion'. He pointed out incidents in Dhubri, Barpeta and Mangaldoi, stating there is both a political and criminal angle to these crimes, which will be dealt with sternly.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday expressed concerns over increasing criminal activities involving a section of people from 'a particular religion' during the last two months.

Despite not naming any specific religion, Sarma emphasized that the perpetrators will face strict action. He noted a series of incidents in Dhubri, Barpeta, and Mangaldoi, citing harassment of indigenous people allegedly by members of a specific community.

He attributed this spike in crime to political changes following recent Lok Sabha elections which have emboldened a certain section of society. Sarma stressed that it is vital to politically educate the people of Assam on these developments and their potential dangers.
