In a recent development in Assam's political arena, Gaurav Gogoi, the state Congress president, has leveled a serious accusation against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Gogoi claims that the Chief Minister has been inciting hatred and violence against Muslims through social media videos, a charge that has sparked intense debate and concern.
During a press conference on Monday, Gogoi played several video clips of Sarma's speeches, alleging that the Chief Minister's rhetoric is a deliberate attempt to target and marginalize the Muslim community. He accused Sarma of using social media as a platform to spread divisive messages, stating, "The Chief Minister is inciting genocide against Muslims, and this is a matter of grave concern for the peace and harmony of our state." The Congress leader further emphasized that such actions could have severe consequences, potentially leading to communal tensions and violence.
Gogoi has urged the Assam Police to take immediate suo motu cognizance of the matter and initiate appropriate action against the Chief Minister. He believes that Sarma's alleged hate speech violates the law and poses a threat to the state's social fabric. With the presentation of these serious allegations, Gogoi has not only challenged the authority of the Chief Minister but has also brought the issue of hate speech and its potential impact on communal harmony to the forefront of political discourse in Assam.
The Congress party's move is likely to intensify the political atmosphere in the state, especially with the upcoming elections. As the allegations gain traction, the public and media await the police's response and any potential legal proceedings, which could significantly influence the political landscape of Assam.
