Assam Police pushed back 17 Bangladeshis across the border, informs Himanta Biswa Sarma

Applauding the Assam Police, he also revealed the names of the alleged infiltrators - Harul Lamin, Umai Khunsum, Md. Ismail, Sansida Begum, Rufiya Begum, Fatima Khatun, Mojur Rahman, Habi Ullah, Sobika Begum.

Earlier Sarma had said ''I have seen demographic invasions in Assam, Jharkhand and West Bengal. When the census is conducted, there will be shocking news on demography in Eastern India states'', Sarma said. In Assam, the situation is different as people are very much aware of the demographic invasion, he added. "During the Assam agitation against illegal foreigners, people warned that the issues faced by the state would eventually impact the entire country, and we are seeing that come to pass now," Sarma added. He added that if the voters list of 2024 and 2019 are compared, the demographic change will be evident.

The state government has launched a project using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyse changes in religious demographics and ratios, Sarma added. Assam and Tripura governments have taken strong steps in this matter with police in both the states arresting several Rohingya infiltrators on several occasions, he said. ''Assam is no longer a safe haven for the Rohingyas as we do not follow a soft policy. Our situation is better than West Bengal and Jharkhand and has not worsened since the BJP government has come to power'', the Chief Minister added.
