In a recent media address, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shed light on his instrumental role in uncovering the online trading scams that have plagued the region. Sarma recounted receiving his first hint of the fraudulent activities when he was offered Rs 1 crore for the Chief Minister’s relief fund, a move that raised immediate suspicions.
The Chief Minister took the opportunity to criticize the politicization of the case, underscoring that it was he who first identified the signs of the scams. “Who exposed the online trading scams? It was me who got the first hint about the scams,” Sarma asserted. He emphasized that targeting him only serves to embolden the accused, akin to giving them “vitamins.” He pointed a finger at various media outlets, including TV channels, portals, and podcasts, accusing them of turning the accused into overnight stars.
Sarma firmly stated that political accusations against him would yield no productive outcomes. His remarks are a clear attempt to deflect criticism and focus attention on the substantive issue of tackling online trading scams, rather than allowing the matter to become mired in political controversy.
Overall, CM Sarma’s statements highlight his proactive stance against financial fraud, while also calling out media practices that he believes have inadvertently glorified the wrongdoers.
