Mr Khaleque referred to a part of the chief minister's speech in the Morigaon district on December 10, on the occasion of Shahid Divas (Martyrs' Day).
Assam Congress MP Abdul Khaleque on Wednesday lodged an FIR against Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his recent speech in Morigaon related to the violent eviction drive in Darrang district of Assam in which 2 people died and several others were injured three months back.
In the FIR, Mr Khaleque has accused the Assam chief minister of becoming the "chief violator of the Constitution & the rule of law" and destroying the social fabric of Assam. The FIR has been lodged at the Dispur Police station for his speech in Morigaon where he termed the Gorukhuti incident as an act of violation of the Constitution.
"Betraying his oath on the Constitution, the Hon'ble Chief Minister Dr. Sarma has maliciously given a communal colour to what was supposed to be an executive exercise. The Gorukhuti eviction saw the brutal killings of Moinul Hoque and Sheikh Farid. Houses of the residents of Gorukhuti were burnt to the ground. By calling such horrendous acts as revenge, Sri Himanta Biswa Sarma has not only justified the killings and arson committed there, the legality of which is sub-judice before the Hon'ble Gauhati High Court, but he has gone far ahead and has communalised the whole exercise - the target of which was the Muslim population living there," Mr Khaleque said in the FIR.
Mr Khaleque referred to a part of the chief minister's speech in Morigaon district on December 10, on the occasion of Shahid Divas (Martyrs' Day), where he purportedly described the Gorukhuti eviction exercise as an "act of revenge" for the incidents of 1983 when eight Assamese youths were killed in February 1983 during the Assam Agitation (1979-1985) in Chalkhowa in Darrang district.
