Assam: 15 districts have become Muslim-majority, claims Numal Momin

Guwahati: Amidst discussions on demographic changes in many Hindu-populated constituencies in the state, Assam Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Numal Momin has claimed that 15 districts of the state have become Muslim-majority.

He alleged that the Congress's motto, motive and vision were to make Assam an Islamic state. "As of now, 15 districts have become Muslim majority. At the time of independence, there was not a single district with a Muslim majority. It is a very alarming situation in Assam," Momin told ANI.

"Very scientifically and tactically, infiltration is going on from Lower Assam to Middle Assam and Upper Assam. When I was a child, in that time, my neighbouring district, Golaghat, an area called Sarupathar, had only 60-70 Muslim houses. Now the figure has gone upto 6000-7000 households. This simple example is very much evidence that Muslims are migrating slowly from Lower Assam to Middle Assam and Upper Assam. It is not only demographic changes, but also a serious threat to the Indigenous Assamese people in Assam," he added.

He said that CM Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma has expressed his concern about the matter. Not only is it a matter of concern for the Chief Minister, but it is also a matter of concern for every Assamese and Indigenous people. Now it is high time to act against that conspiracy under which scientifically and tactically destroying the Assamese people, culture and its heritage, Momin said.

He praised the chief minister for the eviction drive. However, he said that more eviction is required.

"The people who are living in that particular area they grabbed the lands, and tactically, they are buying the lands from Indigenous people. The Indigenous people don't want to sell, but because of the atrocities committed by those people. Out of fear, the Indigenous people sold their lands and ran away from that area," he said.

"Now the BJP government is strongly advocating the protection of Indigenous people. The Indigenous people are getting security under this government. Further, we need to take more action so that Assam can be saved from the infiltrators, invaders, and Assam can be peaceful and prosper politically, economically, and educationally. The Assam Chief Minister has started the movement, and those who love Assam should support this. Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma is the answer to the burning issues of Assam," the Deputy Speaker added. (ANI)
