Assam CM announces 97 arrests post Pahalgam attack
Following the tragic Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 people, Assam has arrested 97 individuals accused of anti-national and anti-Hindu activities.
The move, announced by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, is part of a broader push to maintain peace and security in the state during a tense time.
Arrests include people with controversial social media posts
These arrests include people held for controversial social media posts about Hinduism and even an MLA charged with sedition for allegedly supporting Pakistan's role in the attack.
Assam's tough stance shows how seriously it's taking threats to communal harmony—especially online.
With tensions running high after the attack, the state wants to send a clear message against hate speech and actions that could divide communities.
