Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday praised Sheikh Hasina’s leadership for her crucial role in eliminating North East terrorist factions from the region.
The Chief Minister expressed concerns about the evolving political situation in Bangladesh and its potential impact on Assam.
Highlighting the risk of North Eastern rebels returning to Bangladesh, CM Sarma emphasized the pivotal role played by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in dismantling terrorist groups.
“The current developments in Bangladesh are worrisome. Sheikh Hasina’s leadership was instrumental in eradicating North Eastern terrorist factions from the country,” CM Sarma stated.
He voiced fears that the fall of Hasina’s government could allow militants to exploit the situation, posing a renewed threat to regional stability.
Reflecting on the gravity of the situation, Sarma said, “In these uncertain times, as we vigilantly monitor our borders with Bangladesh, my thoughts often turn to the future of Assam. I pray for the strength and endurance to navigate the present with courage, hoping that our efforts today will lay the foundation for a brighter tomorrow. We must have the resolve to protect our religion and culture.”
