Himanta Biswa Sarma was sworn in as Assam Chief Minister in May 2021. Till 2015, Sarma was a part of the Congress and a young and ambitious leader considered close to then CM Tarun Gogoi. In 2011, Sarma manged the election campaign for the Congress, and helped it win an unprecedented 79 seats in the 126-member Assam assembly. However, with Tarun Gogoi projecting his son Gaurav as the face of Assam’s Congress leadership, he quit.
In 2015, Sarma joined the BJP and quickly rose to prominence becoming finance minister in the Sarbananda Sonowal government, then convener of the North East Development Alliance (NEDA). He has been credited as the man behind the BJP’s increased foothold in the Northeast.
As Assam Chief Minister, Sarma — though an ‘outsider — has steered many policies seemingly aligned with the Sangh agenda, including the passage of the Assam Cattle Preservation (Amendment) Act, asking for the reverification of the National Register of Citizens and carrying out demolition drives to evict “illegal encroachers”.
Hindu Bengalis are being subjected to pogroms on a daily basis in Bangladesh ever since Sheikh Hasina’s ouster. Bengali Hindu women are being subjected to abductions, forced conversions/marriages and gangrapes. Hindu men are being murdered and property owned by Hindus destroyed. Temples are being attacked and idols decapitated. And this has continued unabated over one whole year.
But these activists never ever raised their voice. Not once did they speak out against such egregious treatment meted out to Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.
No such convention hapoens when hindus gets butchered in Bangladesh. This harsh mandar is ssne guy who incited people against CAA. He is a traitor. Should be put behind bars
