Gauhati High Court Refuses to Reduce Life Sentence of Man Who Killed Mother Over ₹30

Guwahati:The Gauhati High Court has refused to reduce the life imprisonment sentence of a man who brutally murdered his mother over a dispute involving just ₹30 to buy alcohol.

Why Himanta Biswa Sarma Is Targeting ‘Miya Muslims’—And Why Congress Is Struggling to Counter the Narrative

Guwahati: As the political temperature rises ahead of the Assam Assembly elections, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has sharpened his focus on the issue of ‘Miya Muslims’—Bengali-origin Muslims—turning it into a central electoral narrative. While the BJP has combined this polarising pitch with cash-transfer schemes for women and youth, the Congress appears unable to find a credible counter-strategy. Himanta Biswa Sarma enjoys immense popularity among Assam’s youth, who affectionately refer to him as ‘Mama’. At public rallies, he draws rockstar-like crowds, with young supporters lining up for selfies. Welfare schemes such as Orunodoi and Babu Asoni have further strengthened the BJP’s grassroots appeal. Despite this advantage, Sarma has doubled down on aggressive rhetoric against Miya ...
