CPM and a Rajya Sabha member (Independent) have filed a police complaint against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for his alleged hate speech.
According to the sources, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma during his speech used the term ‘Miyas’ referring to the muslim community.
The CPM wrote in the complaint that, “Himanta Biswa Sarma has blamed the ‘Miya’ Muslim community for the skyrocketing prices of vegetables in the state. He urged the Assamese youth to come forward and he assured them that all the ‘Miya’ Muslim vegetable sellers would be driven away from the city.”
CPM alleges that Assam CM was trying to create division and tension between the Hindu and Muslim community in the state, Assam.
