"CM assured to give land, house to evicted": Badruddin Ajmal after meeting Himanta Biswa Sarma

Guwahati (Assam) [India], September 12 (ANI): All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal on Tuesday said Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma assured him that those evicted would be given land and a house in time.
"The kind of eviction taking place all over Assam is happening on inhuman grounds... The CM assured us that it would take time but we would give them land and a house... We hope he will do as he has said...," said AIUDF leader Badruddin Ajmal while speaking to reporters after meeting the Assam Chief Minister.
Badruddin Ajmal on Tuesday lashed out at the Union government and said that, apart from Triple Talaq, the government has done nothing for the Muslim community.
“What did the government do by making the law on Triple Talaq? Do they want to make fun of Muslim women, girls? We are enough to take care of Muslim children. We are establishing schools, colleges, universities for them, but what has the government done for this community, they clapped in the parliament just for Triple Talaq. What they have given?" Badruddin Ajmal said.
Slamming the government for stopping scholarships, Badruddin Ajmal said, "Give Rs 25,000 per month to the woman. They (government) are talking about Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, but they stopped the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad scholarship. We have sent 600 children to medical education in the last four years and most of them said that their parents worked as daily wage labourers and got the scholarship, but the government has stopped the scholarship. Now these children have enrolled in Ajmal Foundation, this is a shame."
On people evicted from their homes, Badruddin Ajmal said, "Anyone can call them Bangladeshis, but they are not Bangladeshi until it is proven and they must be provided with each and every facility. We will continue to fight for it."
On the other hand, speaking about the opposition INDIA block, Badruddin Ajmal said, “We are in INDIA. We support INDIA, I am with them. INDIA will come to power and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be the Prime Minister again."
The AIUDF chief met the Chief Minister on Tuesday over the displacement of Muslim families whose homes were bulldozed in the anti-encroachment drives in the state.
Earlier on Sunday, the Assam Chief Minister said at a BJP Mahila Morcha event that some people claim his government to be 'ant-Muslim'. However, he maintained that by stopping practices like polygamy, (triple) talaq and child marriage, his government was working more for the Muslims.
“Some people say that we are anti-Muslim. But I think that by stopping polygamy, (triple) talaq, child marriage - we are working more for the Muslims than any Congress government ever did," he said.
Slamming the Congress, Himanta said, "Congress looked at the Muslim community from the perspective of vote bank. Our resolve to end the practice of child marriage and polygamy will benefit Muslim society the most." (ANI)
