Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday said that no FIR would be filed against former Planning Commission member Syeda Hameed, but added that she would be dealt with “as per law” if she returned to the state.
“If she wants to come back to Assam again, she will be handled with due respect, but in accordance with the law and with respect of our kind,” Sarma said. He further noted that filing an FIR would only allow her to gather financial contributions for legal battles. “As of now, I am not thinking of any FIR. If some people give FIR, it’s a different thing,” he added.
