Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that he would take sides, and won’t let ‘Miya’ Muslims “take over” the state
According to PTI, Sarma was speaking in the assembly on adjournment motions brought by the opposition parties to discuss the law and order situation in the state in the backdrop of the rape of a 14-year-old girl in Nagaon.
Replying to the motion, he said the crime rate has not increased if the population growth is taken into account.
When the opposition charged him of being partisan, Sarma retorted, “I will take sides. What can you do about it?”
“Why will people from Lower Assam go to Upper Assam? So that Miya Muslims can take over Assam? We won’t let it happen,” he asserted.
Amid the heated debate, members of both treasury and opposition benches stormed into the Well of the House, prompting Speaker Biswajit Daimary to adjourn the proceedings for 10 minutes.
