AIUDF Calls for President’s Rule and Chief Minister’s Resignation Over Evictions

AIUDF claims eviction operations aim to displace Bengali-speaking Muslims to engineer electoral gains ahead of next year’s polls.

Overview

  • AIUDF has demanded Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma step down and urged the central government to impose President’s Rule on constitutional grounds.
  • The opposition alleges that state authorities deployed informal “goons” to carry out eviction drives against Bengali-speaking Muslim families without any rehabilitation plans.
  • AIUDF has petitioned the Gauhati High Court to take suo motu cognisance of alleged human rights violations during recent clearances in Upper Assam.
  • The party criticises the Special Intensive Revision of voter lists as an unnecessary, politically driven exercise aimed at harassing genuine citizens.
  • The party also claims the state is fast-tracking citizenship for post-1971 Hindu migrants, branding Muslim residents as foreigners and seizing leased lands for corporate interests.
