Ahead of 2026 assembly polls: Assam CM tries to revive ’83 riots ghost

The report, alongside the unofficial Mehta Commission report, diverged on the causes and perpetrators of the violence. While Tewary blamed the anti-foreigner agitation led by Aasu and AAGSP, Mehta pointed to earlier attacks by migrant Muslims.
