FIR Lodged Against Assam CM Himanta Sarma Over “Sonia Gandhi’s Home Should Be Burnt” Statement

Debabrata Saikia, Assam Congress leader, has reported against Himanta Biswa Sarma to the police for allegedly making a “hateful statement” about Sonia Gandhi. On September 18, Mr. Sarma allegedly said at a rally in Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh that Mrs. Gandhi’s home should be set on fire.

“Taunting Kamal Nath, a prominent member of the Indian National Congress, about his Hindu identity, Himanta Sarma directly suggested that 10, Janpath should be burnt,” Mr Saikia, the Leader of Opposition in the Assam Assembly, said in his complaint. 10, Janpath is Sonia Gandhi’s residence in Delhi.

“In a country governed by the rule of law, Himanta Sarma has taken electoral rhetoric to its ugliest form” and gave a “clear instigation towards violence and arson”, Mr Saikia said.

He further said, “By suggesting that the residence of a 77-year-old lady be burnt down, Himanta Sarma is not just attacking a prominent face of the Opposition but is also giving a clarion call for arson.”

“Such wanton statements from a person with constitutional authority have the potential to cause misguided persons to resort to violence and potentially harm the residents of 10 Janpath,” Mr Saikia said.

“We have appealed to the police to register an FIR in this regard,” he said.

As per police officials, they are verifying the complaint and will further decide the next step.
