Assam – Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has expressed grave concerns over the rapidly changing demographics of Assam. He described the situation as a matter of life and death for him. Speaking to reporters, he highlighted the significant increase in the Muslim population in Assam, which has reached 40%, compared to 12% in 1951. Sarma emphasised that this issue transcends political boundaries, stating that many Districts have been affected by this demographic shift.
Chief Minister Sarma had made a similar statement on July 1st , when he expressed concern about the involvement of individuals from a particular religious community in criminal activities. He clarified that his statement was not a blanket accusation against all members of the religion, but pointed out the alarming situation following the Lok Sabha elections.
