A section of people developed habit of criticizing anything related to Hindus and India: Himanta Biswa Sarma
Guwahati/IBNS: Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that a section of people of the country has now developed a habit of criticizing anything related to Hindus and India.
Reacting over the ongoing protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the Assam minister said that, these people have developed a habit of criticizing anything which is related to Hindu, anything related to India.
“I think that should be stopped. A few days back, somebody has shouted Pakistan Zindabad during a protest rally,” Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
Recently, a 19-year-old college student had shouted Pakistan Zindabad slogan during an anti-CAA meeting in Bengaluru in which All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also present.
The Assam Finance minister said that – “If the intellectuals or the citizens of India don’t stop it now, then these will become a fashion.”
“So before it becomes a style statement, fashion statement, all these elements should be handled firmly and they should be dealt according to the law,” Sarma said.
