Amid evictions, Himanta asks Muslims to control population

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, who completed his first month in office on Thursday, appealed to the state’s “immigrant Muslim” population to adopt “decent family norms”. ​​“We want to work with the minority Muslim community to control population explosion. Poverty and land encroachment have their roots in population explosion. We can solve several social problems if the immigrant Muslims adopt decent family norms… this is my appeal to them,” he added.
