Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said the Muslims, as the ‘majority’ community in the State, have the responsibility of ensuring that the Assamese do not end up like Kashmiri Pandits.
Responding to a debate in the 126-member Assembly on Tuesday, he alluded to the recently-released Hindi film, The Kashmir Files to drive home his point.
“I am asked if the Assamese people will face the same fate as Kashmiri Pandits in 10 years, whether Assam will be like what has been shown in The Kashmir Files. It is the duty of the Muslims to behave like a majority and assure us that there will be no repeat of Kashmir here,” Mr. Sarma said.
