Assam Opposition Files Complaint Against CM Sarma Over Alleged Communal Incitement

Opposition parties in Assam have lodged a police complaint against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, alleging that he has been promoting communal enmity. The United Opposition Forum Assam (UOFA) accused Sarma of inciting tension by targeting a specific community, potentially leading to unrest in the state.

In a significant political development, opposition parties in Assam have filed a police complaint against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on charges of promoting communal enmity. The complaint was lodged on Wednesday by Lurinjyoti Gogoi, general secretary of the United Opposition Forum Assam (UOFA), at the Dispur police station.

Accompanied by leaders from the Forum's 18 allied parties, Gogoi accused Sarma of attempting to incite communal tension by targeting a specific community, a move they claim could lead to riot-like situations in the state.

The UOFA, part of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), has highlighted several instances, including the Chief Minister's alleged provocative statements and actions, as part of a broader conspiracy to create unrest. The opposition has called for a thorough investigation and legal action against Sarma and his associates.
