Policies not enough awareness needed to control population in minority community Assam BJP General Secretary

Assam BJP General Secretary and MP Dilip Saikia on July 04 said that just policies would not control growing population and there is a need to create awareness about the issue among the minority community regarding a meeting between Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and 150 intellectuals from the Muslim community in Guwahati. "In each Constituency Development Block, the Muslim population is increasing in a big way. This has happened due to the wrong policies of the Congress. Congress's wrong policies have been there. They saw Muslims as a vote bank, due to which Muslims are getting isolated today. The name of Muslim remains associated with every incident. The Muslim intellectual needs to be united to take up these issues," said Saikia. “It is an important step by Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma to talk to indigenous Muslim intellectuals to discuss population, literacy rate and various other areas where they are lagging behind and how to take them to mainstream,” he added.
