Himanta’s remarks disturbing peace, says TMC leader Sushmita Dev

New Delhi: Trinamool Congress leader Sushmita Dev on Sunday alleged that Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma was “jeopardising” the internal security of the state and disturbing peace with his statements.

Dev made the remark in a post on X, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited poll-bound Assam and launched several projects. She also mentioned a remark by the PM that termed the states of the northeast extremely sensitive and strategic areas. “But what he doesn’t realise is the chief minister of Assam is constantly disturbing the internal peace of Assam,” she said in a video statement.


“To provoke enmity between two communities is barred by law, section 196 of the BNS. But the chief minister of Assam consistently is jeopardising the internal security of Assam, something that the Manipur CM has already done and ruined Manipur,” the TMC Rajya Sabha MP alleged. “So, I ask the Prime Minister that do not please pay lip service to the fact that the northeastern states are sensitive. People who are disturbing the peace, the people who are threatening internal security, are your own people,” she said. PTI
