Six top cadres of DNLA killed in Assam encounter The counter-insurgency operation, codenamed Operation Dugudisha, was the biggest such strike carried out under the re-elected BJP-led govt in the state
At least six Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA) cadres were killed in a joint operation carried out by Assam Rifles and Assam police in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district on Sunday early morning, dealing a crippling blow to the outfit formed before the 2019 Lok Sabha polls to secure a separate Dimaraji state for the Dimasa community.
The counter-insurgency operation, codenamed Operation Dugudisha, was the biggest such strike carried out under the re-elected BJP-led government in the state which has made lasting peace a priority.
GUWAHATI: Congress cannot provide security to Assam after joining hands with Badruddin Ajmal in its “lust for power”, Union home minister Amit Shah said at an election rally at Batadrava, the birthplace of Vaishnavite saint Srimanta Sankardeva, in Assam’s Nagoan district on Thursday.
Shah avoided the subject of Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) again like he did during his last visit to the state in January. However, referring to new political parties formed out of the anti-CAA movement, he said these were “helping Congress, which used bullets to suppress the Assam agitation against foreigners”.
Shah declared that BJP and its ally AGP, whom he described as the symbol of Assam’s identity, will retain power with more than two-thirds of the 126 assembly seats. Congress and Ajmal’s AIUDF have stitched together their first collaboration since the birth of the perfume baron’s party in 2005.
