Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, while speaking in the Assembly on Tuesday made a controversial statement against the Muslim community living in the state while hitting out at the Opposition. In his speech, Sama said, “I will take sides, what can you do? Won’t let ‘Miya’ Muslims take over Assam.”
Sarma’s statement in the Assembly came two days after he targeted Muslims living in Assam over the gang rape of a 14-year-old girl in central Assam’s Nagaon on August 22.
In the matter, the victim has been identified as a Hindu, while one of the accused is a Muslim.
After the incident, Sarma urged the Assamese Hindu community to realise who is their “ real enemy”.
