Serial Hate Offender Shrinkhal Chaliha is a leader of the popular nationalist-supremacist- organisation Veer Lachit Sena in Assam. Chaliha is known for his repeated hate speech against the local populations, especially religious, linguistic and ethnic minorities through repeated use of the ‘bogey’ of ‘illegal Bangladeshi migrants’. His verbal threats that threaten targeted violence have not been prosecuted. He threatens targeted violence. His words provoke people to hurt and kill Bengali speaking persons what he openly calls a ‘Jihad against Bengali speaking people’. In October last year, he had demanded that an eviction drive be carried out in Mayang in Morigaon district of Assam (with a substantial Muslim population), accusing the local population of being “encroachers”. Chaliha had also reportedly asked a non-Assamese shop keeper in Shivsagar to shut down his shop in September 2021. Chaliha had been caught on camera threatening to use hengdang (a traditional Ahom double-edged sword) on the man renting a shop owned by an indigenous widow woman for not paying the rent. Since the woman did not get fruitful result from the court, the man was illegally forced by Shrinkhal Chaliha to vacate the room. In late January 2022, as many as 12 members of Chaliha’s Veer Lachit Sena were arrested – seven on charges of extortion and threatening a businessman in Golaghat, and five for assaulting a Bengali youth in Morigoan. Recently, in the case of a custodial death of a fisherman in Assam, calling the deceased fisherman’s family and friends “Jihadi”, he demanded that the family of the deceased not be paid any compensation and should be “encountered” instead. By demanding a “reaction” from the authorities, what Chaliha is actually demanding is violent actions in the garb of ‘retaliation’. This makes the villagers of the area belonging to the Muslim and Bengali speaking minorities acutely vulnerable.
