Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma highlighted the BJP government’s dual focus on identity politics and development to safeguard the state’s indigenous population. He stressed the need to counter infiltrators from Bangladesh to preserve the Assamese community. Sarma mentioned the government’s proactive approach in repelling detected infiltrators from Indian territory.
The Chief Minister explained the shift in strategy, noting that instead of waiting for external action, India now promptly pushes back infiltrators. This change has received approval from the Supreme Court, signaling a more assertive stance. Sarma also raised concerns about preventing instances of Love Jihad and advocated for a ban on beef sales in Hindu-majority areas to respect sentiments.
Sarma reiterated the government’s commitment to protecting Assam’s demographic balance, social harmony, and internal security from the threats posed by infiltration. He underlined the importance of upholding the rights of indigenous communities and enforcing laws rigorously.
