Mother's womb cannot be viewed as 'farm land': Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Badruddin Ajmal's comments

GUWAHATI: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma hit out at AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal on Monday, three days after his controversial comments on women and the Hindu community and said a mother's womb cannot be viewed as a "farm land". He urged Muslim women not to be"swayed" by statements of "people like Ajmal" who ask them to bear more children and asked them to limit their families to two children to provide them with a good education.

Choosing to reply to Ajmal's comments at a public meeting at Bongaigaon, which is located near Dhubri which Ajmal represents in the Lok Sabha, Sarma said people, specially women of the Muslim community, should not be "swayed by people who need them for their votes".
