Digital Desk: Rajya Sabha MP Ajit Kumar Bhuyan has lodged a First Information Report (FIR) against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma at Dispur police station over his remarks on the Miya community.
Bhuyan claimed that the chief minister joined the Bharatiya Janata Party to incite communal hatred.
