Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma remarks on Muslim Girls wearing Hijab says "why not boys also use the same thing"

Digital Desk: On Thursday, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma lashed out once more at All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Chief Badruddin Ajmal in Morigaon. The Assam Chief Minister stated at a public meeting that there is a need to change the system of men marrying three to four women in order to provide justice to Muslim women.

"There cannot be any right for a man living in independent India to marry three-four women (without giving divorce to the previous spouse), and we will have to change such a system. We will have to try to give justice to Muslim women. If Muslim girls are asked to wear the Hijab, why can't the boys do the same? Muslim girls can't study in school, and Muslim men will marry 2-3 women, and we are against this process. We want 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas."

Taking a swipe at the AIUDF Chief, Sarma said that there are some leaders in Assam like Badruddin Ajmal who said women must give birth to children as soon as possible, adding "A woman`s childbirth process cannot be compared with a field. I have repeatedly said that our women can give birth to 20-25 children, but Ajmal will have to bear their food, clothes, education, and all other expenses and then, we don`t have any problem." 

The Assam CM further said, "If Ajmal wouldn`t pay expenses, then nobody has the right to lecture on childbirth. We will give birth to only those many children whom we can provide food and to make them better human beings."

"We are trying to push forward 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikash.' We don't want Pomua Muslim students to become Junab, Imam by learning in Madrasas. We want them to study in schools, colleges, and Morigaon Medical College so that they can become physicians and engineers," the Chief Minister added.

Earlier on December 2, Ajmal had suggested Hindus pursue to adopt the formula of Muslims and get their children married at a young age to produce more children. He told ANI, "They (Hindus) should also follow adopt the formula of Muslims and get their children married at a young age, get them married at the age of 20-22, get the females married at 18-20 years and then observe how many children are born... ."

Ajmal also responded to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's recent comments on "Love Jihad" in reference to the Shraddha Walker murder case, saying, "The Chief Minister also said that he is very concerned after seeing Al-Qaeda activities in the Madrasa of Morigaon." 

"Morigaon had made a new history in the country's freedom movement," Sarma said. Tilak Deka, Hemaram Pator, Gunabhiram Bordoloi - son of the soil of Morigaon, had sacrificed their lives for the country. We can't allow making the Morigaon district the base of Al-Qaeda."
