Assam CM claims to have stopped Bangladeshi migrants

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has made a provocative statement at an election rally in Cooch Behar, West Bengal. He claimed to have stopped Bangladeshi Muslims from entering Assam, while accusing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of welcoming them "like a bride being invited." The remarks are part of a heated political campaign ahead of state elections, with Sarma's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) frequently targeting Banerjee's Trinamool Congress over migration issues. The inflammatory rhetoric highlights the ongoing politicization of migration from Bangladesh in India's northeastern states.
