The minister’s chairman has issued the statement on July 5 while confirming a series of meetings, where at least 12 alleged rebels and criminals were killed, because he assumed the office, triggered the slugfest politics in the state.
“Sarma must be aware that the Supreme Court and the Gazutal High Court have decided that no matter how fear of criminals, they must be arrested alive and the police do not have the right to open fire on charges or kill them at will,” said Bora.
Only in case of self defense, can they be fired and it’s also under the knee.
The Supreme Court also said that if a criminal was fired even in self-defense or not, the police had to justify before the court for his actions, the Congress leader said.
“Apart from the APEX court ruling, a minister who issued such a statement spoke a lot about his neglect for justice,” Bora said.
Sarma previously said that all MLA opposition must join BJP as “what would they do on the opposition bench for five years?” “Such information only reflects total negligence for the entire democratic process, and shows its belief in autocratic dictatorship,” he said.
Sarma has been on July 6, also said that the only Role of MLA is to make laws in the Assembly and he has no part to play in development activities in the form of his constituents, responsibility that rests on the minister, and is not bound to the officers to listen to directives Legislator.
“The statement was not only rude to the selected representative but also insulted our respected constitution in India.
That the holders of political science and PhD scholars such as Sarma could say such words about the constitution were embarrassing,” Bora said.
