GUWAHATI: The BJP-led Assam government is contemplating to introduce a law to halt further transfer of land ownership from natives to non-natives with the objective of securing land still in possession of the indigenous people of the state.
BJP formed its first government in the state in 2016 riding its powerful pledge in the election to protect Assam’s ‘jati (identity), mati (land) and bheti (homeland)’ from “cultural invasion” by Bengali-speaking Muslims from Bangladesh. Protection of identity of the indigenous people of the state and protection of their culture is still the broad focus of BJP.
Cabinet minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, while taking part in the All Koch Rajbongshi Students Union’s 20th Kendriya Swahid Divas Udjapon at Golokganj in Dhubri district on Wednesday appealed to the Koch Rajbongshi people not to sell off whatever land is with them.
