August 23, Friday: Journalists across Assam have expressed strong discontent over remarks made by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, where he referenced the religious identity of certain journalists. The comments, which were seen as inappropriate and divisive, have sparked widespread criticism within the media community.
Many journalists have taken offence, arguing that such references to religious identity are not only uncalled for but also undermine the secular fabric of the profession.
