Assam United Democratic Front (AIUDF) founder Badruddin Ajmal has launched a sharp attack on Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, accusing him of being ungrateful, hypocritical, and anti-Muslim in his policies towards the Miya community.
Speaking publicly, Ajmal recalled Sarma’s past ties with the Miya community, stating, “The Chief is ungrateful. The Chief Minister used to eat and live at the Miya’s house at one time.” He questioned the chief minister’s authority over the community, asking, “Who is he to refuse the Miya community a place in Assam?”
Ajmal also warned of political consequences, asserting, “The people of Assam won’t keep the Chief Minister for long.” He further alleged that Sarma is targeting Muslims, saying, “It’s the chief ministers of Assam and UP who openly talk about oppressing the Muslims.” Ajmal cautioned that Sarma’s actions would have repercussions, adding, “Karma will hit back at Assam CM, he won’t get to sit at the seat of Assam CM for so long if his atrocities against Muslims continue.” 
The AIUDF leader’s remarks come amid growing tensions between his party and the ruling BJP in Assam. Political analysts say the criticism may also be linked to Ajmal’s significant defeat in the recent Lok Sabha elections, where he lost to Congress leader Rakibul Hussain by a large margin. Observers suggest that Sarma’s efforts to politically isolate Ajmal played a key role in the setback, given Ajmal’s growing influence and Islamist-leaning image, which some see as a challenge to Assam’s integrity.
