Assam CM targets Oppn., candidate’s mother over controversial social media posts
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma targeted Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) candidate Kunki Chowdhury, alleging that her mother had made social media posts supporting Pakistan and hurting the sentiments of ‘Sanatani’ people.
Sarma on Thursday claimed that Chowdhury’s mother had shared posts related to beef consumption and made remarks offensive to certain sections.
The remarks triggered a sharp response from the AJP, with party president Lurinjyoti Gogoi accusing the chief minister of resorting to “Hindu-Muslim rhetoric” when he has no reply to questions raised by them.
