GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said the future of the state is “not secure” as the Hindu-Muslim population balance is declining fast.

Hoisting the Tri-Colour during the 78th Independence Day celebrations, Sarma said that the indigenous people have gone in a defensive mode due to demographic change in Assam.

We are a minority in 12-13 districts, the chief minister stated.

Claiming that the future of the state is not secure, Sarma said, “The Hindu-Muslim population balance is declining fast. The Muslim population in 2021 rose to 41 percent, while the Hindus were down to 57 percent. The rest is shared by Christians and other communities.”

He further said the Hindu population is slowly going down to 50 percent from 60-65 percent.

He also stressed the need for a strong state government to protect the indigenous people.

He claimed that the government is trying to bring back the population balance. “I request all Hindus, Muslims, and others to follow the family planning norms. We should be aware against polygamy by all sections of the society,” he added.

Later, the chief minister paid homage to the martyrs and freedom fighters at Shraddhanjali Kanan as part of the Independence Day celebration.
