Pravin Togadia, the National President of AHP-Rashtriya Bajrang Dal delivered a speech calling for the mass expulsion of the “Miya” community from Assam. He led chants to “chase away Bangladeshi Miyas” and claimed to have taken a vow to free the state from their presence, asserting that only a “Hindu son of Assam” should rule the region. With elections approaching, he demanded the immediate deportation of 50 lakh “Bangladeshis” who he claimed have “occupied lakhs of acres of land in Assam” to detention camps or across the border into Bangladesh’s rivers. He further alleged an economic disparity, claiming that tax-paying Hindus are funding the rations of Muslims with large families, and called for the government to cancel the ration cards, land rights, and business contracts of “Bangladeshi” Muslims (“Bangladeshi Miya”) and even Assamese Muslims (“Assamiya Miya”) within a month. His rhetoric extended to Assamese Muslims (whom he labelled as “Assamiya Miya”) too, suggesting that MBBS degrees obtained by Assamese Muslims in Bangladesh be declared null in India. He accused whom he labelled as ‘Miya’ of bypassing the NRC with forged documents. To finalize this “anti-Miya campaign,” he proposed a mandatory DNA testing regime based on 1951 voter lists to identify and strip Muslims (“Miyas”) of their voting rights and citizenship. He demanded that Assamese Muslims along with “Bangladeshi” Muslims prove their ancestry through those voter lists and DNA testing. He stated that those who fail to prove their ancestry through DNA should be sent to detention camps or hanged, while suggesting that the Indian army should go to war with Bangladesh to “free” it if the country refuses to accept the bodies of those killed. Concluding his address, he voiced an oath that every village in Assam would be “Miya-free” within the next two months before the elections begin.
