GUWAHATI, April 12: Former Assam Chief Minister and veteran politician Sarat Chandra Sinha has joined the chorus against the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind for its way of serving ultimatum to Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi as well as the State Government.
"The incident itself has exposed the bad taste of Jamiat," Mr Sinha said in the sideline of the recent public rally of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) held at Japia village under Hajo Assembly constituency.
"We also have grievances against the State Government due to its inaction and apathetic attitude towards the development of the minority community of the State," said the State unit president of NCP.
However, Mr Sinha condemned the way in which Jamiat leader Moulana Asad Madani served a threat to the Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi, by inviting him to their rally held at Sonaram High School Field in the city on April 3.
"One can not serve threats to someone by inviting him to his house. This certainly does not reflect good taste and culture," he quipped.
Besides, Mr Sinha said, the threat of Jamiat is also in no way a rational one, as the government was elected by the people of Assam, not by Jamiat’s people alone.
It may be mentioned that Jamiat chief Madani had threatened to overthrow the Tarun Gogoi Government if it did not fulfil its 18-point charter of demands within the next six months.
