Though union home minister Amit Shah was supposed to address the Sualkuchi rally, he had to cut short his schedule and returned to the national capital in view of Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur Naxal attack.
“Very kind of Hon HM Sri
to have come at Sualkuchi helipad especially to bless me ahead of our public meeting. Following the dharma of duty first and nation foremost, he had to return to Delhi in wake of a Naxal attack in #Chhattisgarh, in which we lost our brave hearts,” Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma tweeted.
