Himanta Biswa Sarma Demands Probe into Chidambaram Over Naxal Remark

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a sharp attack on former Union Home Minister P Chidambaram over a reported statement the latter made regarding Naxalites. Sarma called for an investigation into Chidambaram's remark, questioning whether the senior Congress leader had prior knowledge of Naxal attacks. The Assam CM suggested the statement indicated more than intellectual sympathy with Naxal ideology, using strong language to describe Chidambaram's alleged stance. Sarma's remarks centered on past attacks in which Congress leaders were killed, raising pointed questions about the former minister's alleged foreknowledge.
