Won’t oppose Barak Valley’s separation from Assam if people want so: Sarma

Hindustan Times  

Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said he would not oppose Bengali-majority Barak Valley’s separation from Assam if the region’s people demand so even though he does not want that to happen. But the people have to take the decision collectively and not some Leftists,” he said during his visit to Barak Valley on Thursday. Eleven people died in police firing during a protest in Barak Valley’s Silchar in 1960 when the Congress-led state government sought to declare Assamese the state’s sole official language. People are extremely happy with delimitation and our party will win at least 10 out of 13 seats in the next assembly election,” Sarma said.
