Assam CM Himanta Biswa targets journo over his religious identity

During an interaction with journalists, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma sarcastically asked a scribe belonging to the minority community if “his people” would let them live in Assam.

The conversation occurred on August 21 after a meeting on the Rajya



Sabha nomination process held at the Assam legislative assembly.

Journalist Shah Alam, who works in a local news portal News Now, raised a question on the incessant cutting down of hills being reported from Sarma’s Jalukbari assembly constituency.
