Guwahati, Dec 10 (UNI) Reiterating the government’s commitment to fight against illegal infiltrators, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday appealed for a boycott of ‘unknown people’ to secure the future of Assamese people as a race.
Sarma said this while addressing a public meeting on the occasion of inauguration of the Swahid Smarak (Martyrs’ Column) at Guwahati’s Boragaon area. Reiterating the threat from ‘unknown people’ to the Assamese race as a whole, Sarma appealed to every Assamese people not to sell their lands to such people even during the worst of financial situation and not to employ them in the establishments belonging to Assamese people.
Sarma said that Assamese people are becoming minority in their own state as the number of illegal immigrants are increasing leading to demographic change. “In the 2027 census we will see that our number will go below 60 per cent. Due to demographic change, these ‘unknown people’ have started taking lead in most of the activities. Their number is increasing and they are not restricted to a few pockets in the state but spread across cities, he said.
