“The horrific incident at Dhing, involving a minor, is a crime against humanity and has struck our collective conscience. We will not spare anyone and bring the perpetrators to justice,” CM Himanta wrote.
जिन अपराधियों ने ढींग की एक हिंदू नाबालिका के साथ जघन्य अपराध करने का साहस किया, उन्हें कानून छोड़ेगा नहीं। लोकसभा चुनाव के बाद एक विशेष समुदाय अत्यंत सक्रिय हो रहा है। हिंदुओं को भाषाओं के आधार पर बांटने की कोशिश से सभी को सतर्क रहना चाहिए।
