Assam CM accuses JMM-led government in Jharkhand of appeasement politics after Havaldar's murder, demands immediate action.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday (August 17, 2024) accused the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led (JMM) alliance government in Jharkhand of doing politics of "appeasement" in the State.
Mr. Sarma, election co-incharge of BJP in Jharkhand, on Saturday, visited Bengabad in Giridih district to meet the relatives of Havaldar Chouhan Hembram, who was killed by a convicted prisoner in a Hazaribag hospital on August 12.

"No legislator either from JMM or Congress met the tribal victim family yet," Mr. Sarma said after meeting the mother of Hembram.
Prisoner Shahid Ansari, serving a life sentence, escaped from Sheikh Bhikhari Medical College and Hospital (SBMCH) in Jharkhand's Hazaribag district after hitting Hembram and strangulating him to death. The accused was undergoing treatment in the hospital.
The Assam CM alleged that the administration took no action to nab the absconding prisoner. Mr. Sarma said that when he came to know about the incident, he decided to meet the family with Jharkhand BJP chief Babulal Marandi on Saturday morning.
"When I reached here, I was told that police have taken Hembram's family members with them early in the morning. Even his in-laws who reside with them were taken away with them later. This government has crossed all limits of appeasement politics," Mr. Sarma said.
