Assam: Chief Minister Sarma Targets Muslims in Hateful Speech

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said while addressing a public gathering in Lakhimpur district, “A few days ago you saw that Ajmal Foundation conducted exams for medical and engineering around 250 students passed the exam. If this continues, who will take the medical/engineering seats? People of Ajmal.”

Ajmal Foundation is the charitable trust of business tycoon, politician and All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) supremo Badarudding Ajmal. The CM’s oblique phrase also meant the Miya Muslims (Bangali-speaking Muslims) of Assam. Sarma is infamous for targeting Muslims, an accomplishment that makes the Northeastern leader rub shoulders with BJP’s top brass.
