\nNew Delhi: The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has said that the Bharatiya Janata Party government of Hemanta Biswa Sarma is deliberately targeting Muslim communities in the ongoing eviction drives under the pretext of forest conservation.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, AIUDF legislators Rafiqul Islam, Aminul Islam and Ashraful Hussain at a press conference in Hatigaon launched a scathing attack on the government over the ongoing eviction campaign in Muslim-dominated localities in Goalpara, Dhubri, Kachutoli, and adjoining areas and described the evictions as inhumane, unconstitutional, and politically motivated.<\/p>\n
Rafiqul Islam, also the party\u2019s general secretary, said authorities have embarked on the campaign flouting court orders and carrying out evictions during the judiciary\u2019s vacation period.<\/p>\n
He said that the Forest Department had failed to produce accurate land records in court after residents challenged the evictions. \u201cMany of the evicted areas are not classified as forest land, but were arbitrarily declared so by the administration,\u201d media reports quoted Islam as saying.<\/p>\n
The AIUDF has demanded allotment of at least 7 bighas of land to every displaced family, in line with an earlier assurance given by the chief minister in the assembly. \u201cIf land can be gifted to Adani and Ambani, why can\u2019t the government rehabilitate these homeless families?\u201d Islam questioned.<\/p>\n
Islam said that the ongoing evictions are a strategic move to clear land for corporate interests. \u201cThe people need to ask\u2014are these drives really about protecting the forests, or clearing land for Adani?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government is holding the people of Assam hostage and trying to use fear, force, or emotional tactics to ensure electoral advantage in 2026,\u201d he said, referring to a previous instance of communal unrest in Assam.<\/p>\n
The AIUDF leaders pledged to resist what they called the government\u2019s \u201cfascist and anarchic\u201d actions. They called for judicial intervention and urged human rights bodies to take immediate notice of the evictions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
