Palamu, 1 November (Hindustan Reporter). Kushwaha Shivpujan Mehta, former MLA of Hussainabad in Palamu district of Jharkhand, approached the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Daltonganj, accusing Assam Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party's Jharkhand state election co-incharge Himanta Biswa Sarma of giving a controversial speech and trying to spread religious frenzy. A case has been registered in the court on Friday, whose complaint letter number is 3359/2024.

The complaint letter states that on October 23, Assam Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party's Jharkhand election in-charge Himanta Biswa Sarma made some controversial statements while addressing a public meeting in Hussainabad assembly constituency of Jharkhand. In his speech there was talk of changing the name of Hussainabad city. According to the allegation, Sarma said, 'Who is this Hussain, after whom Hussainabad is named? Will change its name. Where did this Hussain come from? I will name it after Ramakrishna.

Former MLA and current Hussainabad Assembly candidate Kushwaha Shivpujan Mehta has expressed strong objection to this. He says that there has been a relationship of mutual harmony and gentleness between all the communities in Hussainabad area for centuries. He says that the purpose of this statement of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was to spread disharmony between two communities and hurt religious sentiments. Mehta has alleged that Sarma deliberately tried to create communal frenzy, which could lead to animosity and discontent in the society. On the basis of this, he has filed a complaint against him in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate of Daltonganj.

Mehta has demanded that legal action be taken against Himanta under relevant sections by accusing him of hurting religious sentiments and attempting to disturb social harmony. Kushwaha Shivpujan Mehta has named Raj Ali and Akshay Mehta as witnesses and other witnesses will also be produced if necessary.
