CM Sarma mentioned that the migrant Muslims already outnumbered the Assamese people and the political rights of the Assamese people are at stake in lower and southern Assams already
Being Indian is the last resort for Assamese to survive in the future: CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Guwahati: Being a part of the greater Indian society is the only survival practice for the Assamese people in the future. Assam chief minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma said this on Sunday (March 27) while addressing a youth gathering in Guwahati.
The Assamese society is facing all-round challenges due to the migrant Muslims' aggression, and it will be very tough for the future generation to survive in the state as they will be politically, economically and socially suppressed by the aggressive forces, said Dr Sarma.
Measures like NRC, delimitations of constituencies will be a short-term survival process for the Assamese people, and these measures will help the Assamese own social, political and economic rights for merely 10- 15 years, the CM said.
Dr Sarma mentioned that the migrant Muslims already outnumbered the Assamese people and the political rights of the Assamese people are at stake in lower and southern Assams already.
Meanwhile, the migrant Muslims supported political party AIUDF claims they will form the government in Assam in 2026. AIUDF president MP Maulana Badruddin Ajmal said that the party is now targeting the indigenous Assamese populous in upper Assam. Ajmal said he wants to replace Congress as the second largest and main opposition party in Assam. He further said that people would see his photographs in upper Assam soon.
Senior AIUDF leader and MLA Karimuddin Barbhuyan claim that the party will form the government in 2026 or 2031. If Badruddin Ajmal needed to sacrifice the chief ministership for an indigenous leader, even then, AIUDF would form its government in Assam, Karimuddin claimed.
Reacting to the claims of Ajmal and AIUDF leaders, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that their claim looks funny for the people residing in upper Assam, but for people who live in lower Assam districts like Barpeta, Dhubri, Darrang or in Nagaon and Barak Valley, it is a reality. CM Dr Sarma said in most of these districts, the Assamese people have lost their political rights to the Bangladesh origin Muslims.
Badruddin Ajmal led AIUDF was formed before the 2006 Assam assembly election to protect the rights of migrant Muslims. Currently, the party has 16 MLAs in the assembly and is an ally of the Congress party. Migrant Muslims dominate 42 constituencies of lower, middle and southern Assam. But the rapid population growth of migrant Muslims and constant demographic change have become a major threat to the political rights of the Assamese people.
Recently, chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated in the assembly that Muslims are now the largest community in Assam. Their numbers are more than 1.25 crores, which is much bigger than any other community residing in Assam. Being the majority community, they should try to preserve the culture of minority Assamese, CM Sarma added.
