Golaghat (Assam) [India], January 23 (ANI): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday said that state police will register a criminal case against Rahul Gandhi and will arrest him after the Lok Sabha election. Following the clash incident between police and Congress workers at the Khanapara area, the Assam Chief Minister alleged that Rahul Gandhi had tried to enter Guwahati with around 3000 people and 200 vehicles.
“We can imagine what would have been the situation if 3000 people and 200 vehicles had entered Guwahati. For six days we were telling him to go by the route they are comfortable with but not to go through the middle route of Guwahati. Even after saying this, they (Congress workers) clashed with the police,” Assam Chief Minister told reporters.
Informing that a criminal case will be registered against Rahul Gandhi, the Assam Chief Minister said that police will initiate an inquiry and arrest Wayanad MP after Lok Sabha polls. “Rahul Gandhi had been instigating the entire incident by standing in the vehicle. We will register a criminal case against Rahul Gandhi. Police will inquire and will take action as per law. We will not arrest him yet, we will arrest him after the Lok Sabha election,” Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
Rahul Gandhi is leading the party’s Manipur to Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and as the yatra was about to enter Guwahati city, Congress workers were stopped from entering the city and clashed with Assam Police. Earlier in the day, Congress workers who were stopped from entering Guwahati city clashed with Assam police.
On the Rhino poaching incident that took place in Kaziranga National Park, the Assam Chief Minister said that he will review the matter. “Yesterday, we got a bad news. I will review this today and we will take action so that, we can arrest the culprits soon. Today I will discuss the matter with the officers of Kaziranga,” the Assam Chief Minister said. (ANI)
