Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma asserted that a woman recently transferred to Bangladesh is safe, while his son publicly disputed the statement.
Assam's chief minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, addressed media reports concerning a woman who was sent to Bangladesh, stating that she is currently safe and there are no concerns about her welfare. The comment came after queries from opposition leaders and civil society groups about the circumstances of her transfer.
In a surprising turn, Sarma's son, who is also a public figure, responded to his father's remarks, contending that the claim of safety had not been independently verified and that further clarification was needed. He urged the government to provide concrete evidence to substantiate the assertion.
The exchange has sparked a brief political debate in the state, with opposition parties demanding transparency on the case and the administration emphasizing that the matter is being handled in accordance with legal protocols. No additional details about the woman's identity or the reasons for her relocation have been released.
Stakeholders await a formal statement from the relevant authorities to confirm the woman's status and to address the concerns raised by the CM's son and opposition members.
