Could Rahul Gandhi Face Arrest for Allegedly Inciting Assam Violence?

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has hinted at the possibility of legal action against Rahul Gandhi, suggesting a connection between the Congress leader’s recent visit to Goalpara and the ensuing violence.

According to CM Sarma, the visit and speeches of Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge may have provoked the evicted residents of Goalpara to confront Assam Police and forest officials. The evictions, a contentious issue in the region, led to clashes between the residents and authorities.

Tensions Rise in Goalpara Following Evictions

The situation in Goalpara remains tense following the evictions. While the government maintains the necessity of the evictions, critics argue that they have been carried out without adequate consideration for the displaced residents. The potential involvement of prominent political figures like Rahul Gandhi adds another layer of complexity to the already volatile situation.
