Congress Criticises Himanta Biswa Sarma After Supreme Court Relief To Pawan Khera

Political tensions escalated in Assam on Thursday after the Congress party targeted Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma following the Supreme Court’s relief to party spokesperson Pawan Khera in a case linked to proceedings initiated in the state. The development has reignited a sharp exchange between the opposition and the state government.

Congress leaders criticised the Assam government, alleging that the legal action against Khera was politically motivated and aimed at harassing opposition voices. The party claimed that the Supreme Court’s intervention effectively exposed the weakness of the case pursued by state authorities.

Responding to the criticism, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma maintained that the government would continue to pursue the matter in accordance with legal procedures. He said that the relief granted by the Supreme Court would not halt ongoing examination of facts and circumstances related to the case.

Sarma further stated that the investigation process would proceed as required under law, signalling that the state government intends to keep the matter under scrutiny despite the interim relief provided by the apex court. He did not elaborate on the specific scope or direction of the further probe.

The case has become a fresh flashpoint in the ongoing political confrontation between the Congress and the Assam government, with both sides sharply disagreeing over the interpretation of judicial proceedings and the intent behind the original action. The situation is expected to continue drawing political reactions in the coming days.
