Hindus Putting Up A Fight In Bangladesh; We Are Detecting Only Muslims Coming Into Assam: Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated on Saturday (24 August) that despite the ongoing crisis in Bangladesh, Hindus are not seeking refuge in India but are fighting to remain in their homeland.

"Hindus are fighting and staying in Bangladesh. In the last one month, we have not detected a single Hindu person, but we have arrested 35 Muslim infiltrators in the last month. Today also, I tweeted that we arrested two people in Karimganj and pushed them back yesterday night," Himanta Biswa Sarma told media at Silchar, news agency ANI reported.

"We intercepted and pushed them back and fortunately or unfortunately, they belong to one community, not Hindu. Hindus are fighting and no Hindu tries to come to India. Hindus are only requesting our Prime Minister to impress upon the government of Bangladesh to ensure security," the Assam Chief Minister said.

He also said that there is no record of Hindu people from Bangladesh entering Assam.

Earlier, Sarma posted on X that Assam Police had apprehended two Bangladeshi nationals at Badarpur railway station.

"Two Bangladeshi nationals were apprehended at Badarpur railway station by @assampolice. The apprehended individuals were identified as Masum Khan, Modelganj Police Station in Bangladesh and Sonia Akhtar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. They reportedly entered India through the Madhoppur (BD)-Agartala route and were en route to Bangalore. In collaboration with the BSF, Assam Police successfully pushed them back across the border last night," the Assam CM posted on X.

Protests in Bangladesh, which began in early July, have been driven by demands for changes to the quota system that reserves civil service positions for certain groups, including descendants of 1971 war veterans.
