\"Assam<\/div>\n
Guwahati: Assam<\/a> chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma<\/a> told the state assembly that he would not let Miya Muslims<\/a> (Bengali-speaking Muslims) take over the state, triggering protests from the Congress<\/a> which staged a walkout. These remarks come at a time when several organisations in Upper Assam<\/a> have threated Muslims<\/a> to leave the region following the alleged gang rape<\/a> of a 14-year-old girl by three persons in Assam’s Nagaon district<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the assembly on the Opposition’s adjournment motion on several key issues, including rape of minors and the targeting of Muslims in Upper Assam’s Sivasagar district, Sarma<\/a> said, “I will take sides. What can you do? Will not let Miya Muslims take over Assam…Let them (the Opposition) compete for minority votes. I am not in the competition.”<\/p>\n

Harping on Opposition leaders Rafikul Sahab and Debabrata Saikia stating that Miya Muslims will move from Lower Assam, where they are present in significant numbers, to Upper Assam, Sarma said: “They have made an important statement… You Miya Muslims will take the entire lower Assam? We will not let you all take Upper Assam, not ever.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Opposition All-India United Democratic Front<\/a> has written to governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya, seeking action against unknown organisations issuing threats to Muslims in Upper Assam.
