Overview
- Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that eight alleged illegal entrants were pushed back from Cachar district, calling the action part of a zero‑tolerance policy.
- Jamiat Ulema‑e‑Hind filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the chief minister’s remarks, citing hate speech and his comments on removing 4–5 lakh voters.
- Delhi Police said they are examining Harsh Mander’s complaint from Hauz Khas that seeks an FIR under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions for promoting enmity and related offenses.
- Sarma responded to Mander by threatening to file at least 100 cases against him and continued to justify his stance by framing Bengali‑speaking Muslims as illegal immigrants.
- The controversy coincides with claims of bulk objections targeting ‘Miya’ voters during Assam’s special revision of electoral rolls and opposition allegations that Sarma misused Supreme Court observations.
