Closely monitoring Guwahati child abuse case: Himanta Biswa Sarma

[ad_1]
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday said he is closely monitoring a case in which a doctor couple was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing children who they claimed were adopted by them.
Sarma, while addressing a press conference, said he will write to the Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court to ensure that justice is delivered within six months.
‘I have asked the police to file the chargesheet within 30-45 days. I am monitoring the case on a day-to-day basis,” he said.

A doctor and his family’s domestic help were arrested in Guwahati on Saturday, while his psychiatrist wife, who is frequently seen in local TV channels’ talk shows on mental health, was caught on Sunday while trying to flee from the city.
The police have slapped various Sections of the IPC along with Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) against the doctor couple and their maid, who has also been arrested.
After their arrest, they were produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate who remanded the couple to five days police custody and the maid to judicial custody.
The police had received information that a four-year-old girl was tied to a pole in the terrace of their apartment and kept there for hours, following which a team from Paltan Bazar police station went to their apartment and picked up the doctor and his family domestic help on Friday evening.
The girl was sent for a medical examination and according to the report, she was sexually abused and had injury marks on her body as well as private parts,

The couple claimed they have three children whom they have adopted but the police are investigating whether they had followed proper legal procedure for adoption, Guwahati Police Commissioner Diganta Barah had said on Sunday.
The police also rescued the other two children from their apartment and sent them for medical examination.
The doctor’s wife had made a video on the day of his arrest and uploaded it on social media, claiming that a conspiracy was hatched to “defame and destroy” her family.
The Assam Commission for Protection of Child Rights (ASCPCR) has also taken cognisance of the matter and wrote to the civil and police administration to initiate an inquiry and take action against the accused.

Hyderabad: Assam CM Himanta Biswa to attend ‘Hindu Ekta Yatra’ in Karimnagar

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will attend the ‘Hindu Ekta Yatra’ in Karimnagar which will be held on May 14, organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar.
A Telangana BJP press release said on Friday that the BJP national general secretary and state party affairs in-charge Tarun Chugh will also attend the event. Bandi Sanay is preparing for the event likely to attract over one lakh people.
Bandi said that the aim of this yatra is to show the power of Hindu unity and appealed to people to participate in the Hindu Ekta Yatra in huge numbers.

“Working towards protecting the Hindu Dharma. Those who want to defend Hindu Dharma should participate in this yatra,” he said.
Biswa Sarma last visited Hyderabad on September 8, 2022, following which tension prevailed at Mozamjahi Market after the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader created a flutter by attempting to snatch the mike of Himanta Biswa at a public meeting while he was addressing an audience.
The Assam chief minister had come under sharp criticism from the opposition over his comments that madrasas in the state which were demolished recently were ‘Al-Qaeda’s’ offices when the structures were razed under the Disaster Management Act.

Rahul Gandhi is a morally corrupt politician: Himanta Biswa Sarma

[ad_1]
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is a “morally corrupt politician”, recalling his 2013 opposition to an amendment of a bill that would have allowed a convicted MP to remain a parliamentarian.
Sarma said the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had tried to bring the amendment, but Gandhi “denounced him publicly” and “tore” a copy of the ordinance.
“And now, Congress President Mallikarjun Khagde is demanding that convicted MP’s should not be disqualified,” he said.
“Rather than growing a spine, he is misguiding Kharge to protest against his own stand, which he had taken in 2013. I have not seen a politician in this country so morally corrupt like Rahul Gandhi,” Sarma told reporters on the sidelines of a programme here.
Gandhi should tell people of the country he stands for the cause that a convicted MP/MLA should be disqualified immediately, the chief miniser said.
The former Congress president was recently convicted by a Surat court in a defamation case and subsequently disqualified as a Lok Sabha MP.

Action against those involved in child marriage to be intensified: Himanta Biswa

[ad_1]
Guwahati: Action against those involved in child marriages will be further intensified in Assam as the government aims to eliminate the social menace by 2026, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Friday.
There has been no opposition in Assam against the crackdown, he told reporters before chairing a meeting on the issue with deputy commissioners and superintendents of police of all districts.
“The meeting has been called to discuss the issue and measures to intensify action against those involved in child marriage,” Sarma said.
The idea is to ensure that no child marriage happens in the state, and “we will eliminate it by 2026”, he said.
Asserting that those arrested are perpetrators of the crime, Sarma maintained that actions have not been taken after verifying religious affiliations.
The Assam government began a crackdown on child marriages on February 3 and has so far arrested 3,047 people, including 2,954 males and 93 females. Police have registered 4,235 cases so far, while 6,707 people have been named in those.
Sarma said that only 251 people, or 8.23 per cent, have been granted bail.
The accused are, however, entitled to bail after one-two weeks, he said.

“We are resolute in our commitment to end such social evils,” he added.
The chief minister claimed there was no opposition in the state against the crackdown.
“We are getting full cooperation from religious leaders, public and social organisations in this regard,” he claimed.
In a tweet, Sarma said he was receiving reports from various parts of the state that several families have cancelled pre-scheduled marriages between underage children after the crackdown.
“This is definitely a positive impact of our two-week-long crackdown against child marriage,” he said.
Opposition parties have criticised the manner in which the drive is being carried out, terming the arrests of teenage husbands as an “abuse of law” for political gain, and equating the police action with “terrorising people”.
Coming under criticism for failing to secure the future of the affected women and their children, the government had on February 9 formed a cabinet sub-committee for rehabilitation of the “victims”.
