"Rahul Gandhi Encouraged...": Himanta Sarma After 1 Killed In Assam Eviction Drive
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of encouraging encroachers and emboldening them with his words to attack security forces in Goalpara, leading to the death of one illegal settler in retaliatory police firing.
He said the violent incident at Paikan reserve forest, a day after Mr Gandhi's visit, is the "disastrous legacy" of the Congress leader, claiming that his "irresponsible rhetoric" has endangered lives and peace in the state.
