All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal MP on Saturday hit out at Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his Islamophobic comments on Miya Muslims and accused him of trying to separate Muslims from other sections in the northeastern state.
Ajmal was speaking to reporters at Garigaon in Guwahati.
Ajmal claimed that Sarma’s statement that “Miya” (Muslim) vendors were responsible for the price rise of vegetables in the city was demeaning and hurtful towards the minority community.
“The CM is the head of the state and such words coming from his mouth don’t seem right. He should not have said this. I did not like this.”
“By doing all this, he is creating a division between Muslims and the Assamese people. If after all this, some incident happens then the government and CM Sarma will be responsible for it,” he added.
Earlier, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen(AIMIM) supremo Asaduddin Owaisi slammed Sarma over his hate speech.
Owaisi said there were a group of people in the country who blamed the Miyas for everything. “There is a group of people in this country who will blame the Miya Muslims if their buffalo does not give milk, if their hen does not lay eggs. They will blame Miya Muslims for all their personal failures too,” he said.
