Assam Kissan Congress Co-in-charge Krishna Chaitanya Reddy Demands President's Rule in Assam Citing Grave Law and Order Situation and Constitutional Violations by Chief Minister
Assam, September 09, 2024 : The Assam Pradesh Kissan Congress and its Co-in-charge Sathi Krishna Chaitanya Reddy, Joint Coordinator of All India Kissan Congress, have demanded the imposition of President's Rule in Assam due to the very serious law and order situation in the state and the gross violations of the provisions of the Constitution of India by Dr. Himanta Biswa Sharma, the Chief Minister of Assam. In a meeting held today, the Assam Pradesh Kissan Congress representatives highlighted several concerning incidents and actions by the Chief Minister that have created a climate of fear and unrest in the state. Recently, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sharma, in an executive meeting of the Assam State BJP, claimed himself to be a "mad dog." As per the provisions of the Indian Constitution, a person of unsound mind is disqualified from holding any constitutional post. Over the past two years, Dr. Sharma has made a series of hate-filled and provocative statements, even in the Assam Assembly, targeting a particular religious community, namely the Muslim community. One year ago, he had incited the youth to evict people belonging to the Muslim minority community from Guwahati, who were earning their livelihood as vegetable vendors, rickshaw pullers, private drivers, and laborers in the construction and other sectors. The Guwahati High Court had recently reprimanded the Assam Government for using bulldozers to demolish the houses of Muslim families in Batadrava, Nagaon District, and directed the government to pay compensation to the affected families. Despite this, Dr. Sharma has continued to make provocative statements against the Muslim community, and has carried out eviction drives in several places inhabited by the Muslim population, further fueling hatred. The Kissan Congress representatives also highlighted the instances of corruption involving Dr. Sharma, his wife, and children, with their illegal property holdings across the country and abroad being exposed by various media outlets in Assam. Additionally, the law and order situation in Assam has deteriorated to an alarming level, with the highest number of police encounters and deaths in the country, as per the reports placed by the government in parliament. Killings, dacoity, rape, and murder have become a regular occurrence under Dr. Sharma's rule. The Assam Pradesh Kissan Congress has expressed grave concerns over the current situation in the state and has demanded the immediate imposition of President's Rule to restore the constitutional order and safeguard the rights of all citizens in Assam. The meeting was organised by Mr. Hari Prasad Saikia - Chairman, Assam Kissan Congress, attended by Mr. Tridib Sarma - Vice Chairman, Assa. Kissan Congress, Dr. Nazrul Kazi - General Secretary, Assam Kissan Congress, and other representatives.
