Assam CM Faces FIR Over 'Miya' Muslims Remark

Opposition parties in Assam have submitted a memorandum to President Droupadi Murmu, urging the removal of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his allegedly inflammatory statements against Bengali-speaking 'Miya' Muslims. 18 political parties, under the United Opposition Forum, accuse Sarma of inciting communal hatred and creating unrest following his remarks in the state assembly about preventing 'Miya' Muslims from taking over Assam. The forum claims these statements have fueled communal tensions, particularly after the gang-rape of a 14-year-old girl in Nagaon. Additionally, an FIR has been filed against Sarma for promoting enmity between communities. The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has also sought protection for Muslims amid ongoing hate campaigns in the state.
