Assam’s chief minister  Himanta Biswa Sarma has termed population explosion as the “root cause of economic disparities and poverty among minority Muslims” in the state. The state is preparing a team of youth who would visit the lower parts of the state to create ‘awareness’ on measures to control the population and supply contraceptives.

The chief minister said  1,000 youths from the riverine sand bars of lower Assam would be roped in to fight what he called “population explosion”. They would also be tasked with supplying contraceptives among the community members in the region. ANI quoted the CM said, “We are also planning to create a separate workforce of ASHA workers who shall be responsible for creating awareness about birth control and also supply contraceptives,”

The chief minister drew parallels between the population growth of two primary religious communities in the state to say, “if population growth among Hindus in Assam was 10% from 2001 to 2011, it was 29% among Muslims.” He is stressed about

that the drop in population growth among the Hindus in the state led to an improvement in their lifestyle and education level while “with a 29% growth rate, the Muslims are currently in a state of crisis.”

He said he sought the cooperation of the opposition Congress and the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) in fighting population explosion for the prosperity of all.
