Assam CM Himanta Sarma apologises for controversial post on role of 'Brahmin-Shudras'

Assam CM issues an apology after he faced a political storm for now-deleted social media post on platform X, wrongly attributing a statement to the Gita. Opposition leaders accused him of promoting caste division, criticizing BJP's manuvadi ideology. Owaisi denounced Hindutva for contradicting principles of liberty, equality, fraternity, and justice. Sarma apologized, admitted translation mistake, and clarified that the post was based on an incorrect sloka translation. He emphasized Assam's casteless society due to Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardeva's reform movement.
