“Congress, Jamat-e-Islam Hind, intellectuals like Prashant Bhushan, Harsh Mander and some elements from Pakistan and Bangladesh are very active to weaken Assam. We all Assamese and Indians have to stay united to foil this conspiracy,” he said.In the recent weeks, the Assam government cleared encroachment on vast swathes of land in forests, village grazing reserves, and professional grazing reserves. A large majority of the evictees were “Miya Muslims” (Bengali Muslims).“After Jamaat-e-Hind’s outburst demanding my dismissal yesterday, a Delhi-based team — Harsh Mander, Wajahat Habibullah, Fayaz Shaheen, Prashant Bhushan, and Jawahar Sircar — is now camping in Assam. Their sole aim is to paint the lawful evictions as so-called ‘humanitarian crisis.’ This is nothing but a planned attempt to weaken our fight against illegal encroachers,” Sarma posted on X later.“We are alert and firm—no propaganda or pressure will stop us from protecting our land and culture,” he further wrote.
