Assam Opposition Files FIR Against Chief Minister Sarma

The Congress-led United Opposition Forum in Assam has filed an FIR against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of attempting to incite communal violence following his controversial 'Miya Muslim' remarks. The FIR, lodged at Dispur Police Station, alleges that Sarma's statements promote enmity based on religion and race, a claim supported by 18 political parties forming the opposition. Opposition leader Bhupen Kumar Borah accused Sarma of exploiting a recent gang rape incident to target a specific community, leading to subsequent attacks on religious minorities. The FIR highlights a history of Sarma's provocative comments, with calls for his suspension and removal from office. The United Opposition Forum also condemned the alleged physical assault by BJP leader Mayur Borgohain on laborers, suggesting a broader conspiracy to create unrest. The situation reflects escalating tensions in Assam's political landscape amidst communal sensitivities.
