What did CM Himant say?

Today, according to the 2011 census, 34% of the population in Assam is minority. Therefore, if you remove 3% indigenous Assamese Muslims, 31% of Muslims have migrated to Assam. Therefore, if you estimate based on 2021, 2031 and 2041, you come to a position of about 50–50. Therefore, this is not my view. I am only telling the statistical census report. ”CM Himant said that the record of the figures and the previous census understands that after a few years from now, the Muslim population in Assam will be 50 percent.
