VIDEO | Delhi: Congress MP Manish Tewari says, “In the 1980s, there were many expectations and developments related to it. Pakistan was considered an ally, and in some contexts, Taliban-related elements were reportedly being supported or presented in Quetta, which is why the term ‘Quetta Shura’ is known. Osama bin Laden was found in Abbottabad, not in Allahabad. Therefore, when history and facts are considered, they are on India’s side. Based on this, India should be able to maintain very balanced and rational international relations.”
He added, “At present, nothing is going well in the broader regional situation. Whether it is tariffs, or the treatment of Indian citizens in the United States who were reportedly handcuffed and deported on flights, or the shift in response toward Pakistan after the Baisaran attack, these issues collectively reflect a changing environment. Additionally, there is the matter of three Indian naval sailors being killed in the Strait of Hormuz. These incidents, along with other strategic military developments between India and the United States, should be viewed carefully and handled in a balanced manner by India.”

The intention of this FIR is to dissuade people from talking about illegal assets of Himanta Biswa Sarma. But the people of Assam, India know this now. Nobody trusts Himanta Biswa Sarma when he denies such charges. And if the BJP, Himanta Biswa Sarma think that such FIR would intimidate Congress, then it is their mistake. We don't expect the BJP to take action, they are like a washing machine."
