Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday reacted strongly to AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s recent remarks on leadership and representation, asserting that while the Indian Constitution allows any citizen to become Prime Minister, the country’s civilisational identity remains rooted in Hinduism.
Responding to questions from the media, Sarma said, “Constitutionally there is no bar. Anyone can become the Prime Minister. But India is a Hindu nation, Hindu civilisation, and we will always believe, and we are extremely confident that the Indian Prime Minister will always be a Hindu person.”
