On Saturday (July 19, 2025), Assam Major Minister of Histant Bisw Sarma faced his counterpart to West Bengal’s mom Banerjee that his “divisive agenda” of his government led by Bharatiya Janata crossed all the borders.
He said that the Hinda natives in several Assam districts were on the verge of becoming a minority and that his government did not focus their own people, but resisted uncontrolled infiltration of Muslims from the entire (Bangladeshi) border, which caused a demographic shift.

“It is not a political narrative – it is a reality. Even the Supreme Court’s court has described such an infiltration as external aggression. And yet when we get up to defend our country, culture and identity, you will decide to politicize it,” he published it in response to Mrs. Banerjee.
“We do not divide people in language or religion. Assames, Bangla, Bodo, Hindi – all languages and communities coexist. But no civilization can survive if it refuses to protect its boundaries and its cultural foundation,” he wrote.
The main Minister of West Bengal has been critical of Mr. Sarma since the Assam government launched the drive of eviction around the state in June. Most of those evicted from different categories of government land, including reserve forests, were Muslims with roots in today’s Bangladesh.
Mrs. Banejee also killed Mr. Sarma for saying that during the evidence drives, people mentioned Bengal, because their mother tongue would help the government quantify “foreigners” living in Assam. He said this after Maiduddin Ali, the minority manager, said that Muslims from Bengal would write Bengali, not Assamese, like their mother tongue in the census to reduce the Assam speakers on the minority.
The Chief Minister Assam, who hit Mrs. Banerjee, said she had threatened the future of West Bengal by encouraging the particular religious community to interfere with the “calm” for voices and ignored the infiltration “only to remain in power”.
He claimed that Assam, unlike the West Bengal, certainly acted to maintain the identity of his people.
“Assam will continue to fight to maintain his inheritance, dignity and people with courage and constitutional clarity,” he said.
In her contribution to X, Mrs. Banerjee said that people would resist Assam’s distributing BJP agenda.
“The second most spoken language in the country, Bangla, is also the second most spoken language of Assam. The threat to citizens who want to coexistly coexist, respect all languages and religions, persecution for promoting their own mother tongue is discriminatory and unconstitutional,” she said.
“I stand with every fearless citizen who fights for the dignity of their language and identity and their democratic rights,” she wrote.
