Guwahati: All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) MLA Aminul Islam on Sunday said that many leaders of the nation are trying to prove themselves as ‘Hindutva leader’.
The AIUDF MLA slammed Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and other leaders of the nation and said that they are now trying to prove themselves as ‘Hindutva leader’.
Aminul Islam said, “There is an atmosphere in the country where many leaders including the Assam chief minister are trying to prove who is a more hardcore ‘Hindutva’ leader in the national platform.”
“A few days back, in the Assam Assembly Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the Muslims are happier in Assam and two days later he went to Karnataka, trying to show himself as a hardcore Hindutva leader,” he further said.
The AIUDF General Secretary added that it was improper for Himanta Biswa Sarma to close down madrasas, introduce a bill protecting cows and carry out an eviction drive.
Aminul Islam said, “The Assam CM is trying to suppress muslims and showing that he is a hardcore Hindutva leader. Himanta Biswa Sarma-led BJP government has not only shut down Madrasas, but they also shut down Sanskrit Tolls in Assam. He is trying to establish himself as a national leader.”
The Assam Government was criticized by the AIUDF last month amid a crackdown on child marriage instances in Assam claiming that it had not given enough attention to matters that might prevent child marriage.
Meanwhile, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi also lashed out at the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government over the situation. The BJP government in the state, he alleged, was ‘biased against Muslims’. The remarks came as state authorities arrested more than 2,258 people on charges linked to child marriage.
