He said the statement made by Islam hurt the sentiments of people in the state.Sarma announced that the Assam government would offer financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh each to the families of those who lost their lives in Pahalgam. “We are hurt by the incident,” he said. Earlier, Islam had found a connection between the Pulwama attack of 2019 and the Pahalgam attack.“The day 42 Indian soldiers were killed in the Pulwama attack, I had stated it was a conspiracy. The government conspired to polarise voters and win the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. I had demanded a probe, but till today, we don’t know how a vehicle carrying 300 kgs of RDX could enter a CRPF convoy in a high security area. Because the incident was not probed, the people of the country still do not know who carried out the attack,” Islam had stated at an event.“Now, after the Pahalgam attack, the BJP is saying the terrorists fired at the Hindus and spared the Muslims. However, the survivors said nobody’s name was asked. They fired from the darkness, secretly. I suspect the Pahalgam attack was carried out by those who had perpetrated the Pulwama attack,” Islam further stated.”If the government does not conduct an impartial probe into this incident and resort to Hindu-Muslim divisive politics, we will suspect this happened due to a conspiracy hatched by the central government,” he added.
