Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said that those attacking him for his remarks on “Miyas”, referred disparagingly to illegal Bangladeshi Muslims, should read the Supreme Court’s order mentioning the “silent and invidious demographic invasion” of the state. “Those who are attacking me for my remarks on ‘Miya’ — a word used in Assam in the context of Bangladeshi Muslim illegal migration — should pause and read what the Supreme Court of India itself has said about Assam,” Sarma said in a post on X. The Election Commission had directed the conduct of SR in Assam to prepare an error-free electoral roll. The Integrated Draft Roll was published on December 27, while the filing of claims and objections continued till January 22. The EC had ordered SR of electoral rolls in Assam as a Supreme Court-supervised exercise to verify citizenship, which is yet to be concluded.
