Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated on Tuesday that the Bengali and Assamese communities have cultivated a sense of mutual respect over the years. He emphasized that the historical competition between the two groups has evolved into a more harmonious relationship.

He pointed to the granting of classical language status to both Assamese and Bengali as a significant step towards enhancing bilateral relations.

“In the past, there was rivalry between the Bengali and Assamese languages for various reasons,” Sarma remarked.

“However, in recent times, this rivalry has transformed into a spirit of mutual respect, allowing speakers of both languages to freely use them as per their convenience and preference.” The Chief Minister also highlighted that infrastructure developments initiated in 2014 have played a crucial role in strengthening the ties between the Barak and Brahmaputra valleys.

“Since the Prime Minister’s announcement, discussions among intellectuals about the origins of these languages have shifted positively, leading to a reduction in competition between Bengali and Assamese,” he added.

Sarma previously tweeted, “The days of discontent between the people of the Brahmaputra Valley and the Barak Valley are behind us. Our government has ensured equitable growth in both regions, and with the conferring of classical language status to both Assamese and Bengali, both communities are now receiving equal respect.”

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
