Assam is on state-sponsored fire, says Rahul Gandhi after violent clashes in Darrang

Rahul Gandhi claimed that Assam is on a "state-sponsored fire" after two persons were killed in police firing during an eviction drive.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday claimed that Assam is on "state-sponsored fire" after two persons were killed in police firing and nearly 20 injured during an eviction drive and a shocking video emerged of a man kicking an apparently dead person with a bullet wound on his chest and jumping over his body.

Rahul Gandhi cited a news report that said Assam policemen beat up protesters and many of them were injured. The protesters were opposing the eviction drive when policemen opened fire at them, the report claimed.
