While hearing a revision petition, Additional Sessions Judge Sonu Agnihotri issued a notice to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

The petitioner alleged that Sarma made the remarks during a public event in Digboi in Assam’s Tinsukia district.

The remarks were allegedly related to the “removal of four to five lakh Miya voters” during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Assam.
