News India Live, Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister and firebrand leader Himanta Biswa Sarma has once again created a new controversy in the country’s politics by making a scathing attack on the Congress. The Chief Minister has alleged that the agenda that the Congress party runs against him or the statements it makes come directly from Pakistan. After his claim, there has been panic in the opposition camp and a round of allegations and counter-allegations has started in the political circles.
Claim of ‘connection’ between Congress and Pakistan
Himanta Biswa Sarma is often known for his outspoken and controversial statements, but this time he has directly linked the ideology of Congress and its strategy to the neighboring country. The Chief Minister says that whenever he takes any strong step in the interest of the state or the country, the opposition from Congress is exactly the same as the reaction from Pakistan. He indicated that there is a strange similarity between the statements of senior Congress leaders and the interests of Pakistan, which is worrying for the national interest.
War of words intensified in election environment
As the rumors of upcoming elections are getting louder, this war of words between BJP and Congress is becoming more aggressive. Political analysts believe that this statement of Sarma can fuel the politics of polarization. The Chief Minister clearly said that there is a deep conspiracy behind targeting him, which is being fueled by people sitting across the border. He called upon the public to understand and respond to this ‘foreign influenced’ politics of Congress.
Awaiting Congress’ response
An official response from the Congress is currently awaited on this sensational allegation of Himanta Biswa Sarma. However, in the past, on such statements, Congress has termed it as BJP’s ‘divisive policy’ and a way to divert attention from the real issues. It will be interesting to see whether Congress takes a legal stand on this serious allegation or counters it from the political platform itself. At present, echoes of this ‘Pakistani script’ statement are being heard from Assam to Delhi.
