Assam CM Sparks Controversy with Anti-Muslim Remarks

A political leader in Assam, India, made some very mean and unfair comments about Muslims.

He told Hindus to be unkind to Muslims who might be trying to register to vote.

When people got upset, he said he was only talking about Muslims from Bangladesh.

But many people still think his words were hurtful and wrong.

There's an election coming up, and some people think he said these things to get more votes.

A writer named Tavleen Singh wrote about this and said it's sad that such hateful words are becoming normal in India.

The leader also said that 'Miyas' will face trouble as long as he is in power, claiming they are illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.

Activists from the community have started using the term 'Miya' as a way to stand up for themselves.
