The chief minister gave a quick reply to the journalist and said that he should not have asked the question to the police.

CM Sarma claimed that journalists should undergo induction training before going on field reporting.
When a few journalists gathered at an event to ask a few questions to the Chief Minister, one of the journalists asked him about the JJM incident, to which he said it was a question he should have asked the officer In Charge it and not it.

He said that if I were a journalist, I would have questioned the OC.
He added that just as doctors need a degree in their field, journalists also need a degree in mass communication. If you had a mass work degree, you would take the opportunity to ask relevant and necessary questions because you only have to meet with us for a few minutes.
