Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday batted for his government’s decision to give arms licence to indigenous people, saying that they will survive only if firearms are provided to them.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of an official function here, Sarma said that “some practical steps” need to be taken in order to reach a “goal”, which he has set, as soon as possible.
“I want the situation in Assam to be explosive. Someday, the situation will be explosive in Assam. How will our people survive if there is an explosion?” he replied when asked if the situation would turn explosive after giving arms licence to common people.
