In view of the situation, he reportedly urged the RSS to visit these areas and consolidate the Hindus to save such places from the "danger".
Sarma said that the RSS will be able to save the Hindus as it is a grassroot-level organisation and has strong bonding with the masses living in remote areas, reported the newspaper.
Meanwhile, CM Sarma has dismissed the media reports. Speaking to media persons at Silchar this morning, the chief minister made it clear that he has never made any such comment.
"National media who can control. I had been there, had breakfast. Do I need lecture RSS? They know about Assam and northeast. What was the need for me to say something like that", said Sarma.
Sarma said that he went to the RSS meeting as a 'Swayamsevak' to pay respect and beyond that there is nothing. The chief minister also said that they do not discuss any political issue with the RSS.
