Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, has accused some individuals of politicizing the death of celebrated singer Zubeen Garg, suggesting they are pretending to be his genuine followers to incite unrest. Speaking at an official function, Sarma emphasized BJP's efforts to consolidate genuine admirers of the cultural icon against these alleged impostors.
