Himanta Biswa Sarma had asked the minorities to adopt family planning measures
The Assam unit of Congress has slammed Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for asking a minority community in the State to adopt population control measures. Marking the completion of a month of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government on Thursday, the Chief Minister said the population of the minorities needed to be in check to prevent encroachment and pressure on land resources. “He said that if the population explosion continues, the Kamakhya Temple (Guwahati) land will one day be encroached upon. This is unbecoming of the Chief Minister who is expected to be well-versed in the demographic facts of a State he represents,” Congress leader Bobbeeta Sharma said on Friday.
