The law will take its course, says Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma

STAFF REPORTER

GUWAHATI: Speaking on the Angkita Dutta incident, the Assam CM mentioned that since it is an internal affair of the party, it should have been resolved within the organisation. But since it has not been done and a case has been registered, “if the issue is not resolved, then the law will have to take its course,” said the CM.

Himanta Biswa Sarma broke his long silence regarding the Angkita Dutta incident on Friday night. He called the former leader of the youth wing of the Assam Congress a “daughter of Assam” during this interaction with the media. He also mentioned that “the way the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee has tackled this matter (was) sad” and added, “They (the Assam Congress) are thinking that she has given the wrong statement and the IYC President is right. I would have been happy if the Assam Congress talked in favour of her. But what we see is completely opposite.” The Chief Minister also added that there are currently no plans for the former member of Congress to join the BJP.
