Union Minister and former Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal criticized the opposition citing the inability to offer constructive solutions, instead resorting to misleading rhetoric.
Sarbananda Sonowal Comes Down Heavily On Congress For Brutal Suppression Of Assam Movement
The Union Minister claimed that since the era of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Congress has given Assam and the Northeast minimal support to prosperity or security.
He came down heavily on Congress for the brutal suppression of movements such as the Assam Movement.
Sarbananda Sonowal, the BJP candidate contesting from the Dibrugarh Lok Sabha constituency, questioned the credibility of the opposition, which has aligned with Congress, to secure anything but the rights of Assamese.
Addressing the rally at Tingkhang, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “Congress imposed the draconian IMDT Act on the people of Assam only, not the whole country. CAA is an all-India act, unlike IMDT which was passed by Congress to compromise the security of Assamese.”
“The Congress government has jeopardised the interests of indigenous people in pursuit of power, relying on the support of non-citizens. Any objections to CAA can be legally contested, as evidenced by ongoing appeals to the Supreme Court,” he added.
