Assam authorities have tied the recent Civic Justice Party (CJP) protests to a university head who reportedly clashed with state minister Himanta Sarma, suggesting a possible link between the campus incident and the broader demonstrations.
The Civic Justice Party (CJP) staged protests across Assam last week, drawing attention to a series of grievances that have been voiced by the party’s supporters.
Assam police officials have indicated that the demonstrations may be connected to a university head who reportedly had a confrontation with state minister Himanta Sarma. The incident, which took place on a university campus, has raised questions about the motives behind the protests.
While details of the clash remain sparse, authorities have suggested that the university head’s dispute with Himanta Sarma could have served as a catalyst for the recent demonstrations.
Investigations are underway to determine the extent of the link between the campus incident and the CJP protests, and officials have urged all parties to maintain calm and avoid further escalation.
