“No Muslim will be evicted if Congress comes to power”: INC’s Ghana Burhagohain
During an election rally in Assam’s Lakhimpur, Congress candidate for 76 No. Lakhimpur legislative assembly constituency Ghana Burhagohain told a gathering that no Muslims would be forced to leave their homes if the Congress forms the government. Burhagogain, who represented the constituency from 2006 to 2011, said the party would ensure the safety and protection of minority communities, drawing a clear contrast with the BJP, which currently governs the state.
His remarks come amid ongoing eviction drives by the BJP-led NDA government in Assam, which the government says are aimed at removing illegal encroachments on government land and enforcing the law. However, critics of the BJP argue that these actions are unfair and disproportionately impact vulnerable communities already facing hardships.
