Last night, the Chief Minister celebrated his birthday at his official residence, where ministers, MLAs, party workers and supporters gathered to extend greetings and best wishes.

Meanwhile, the political temperature in the state remained high as CM Sarma launched a fresh attack on Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Gaurav Gogoi. The Chief Minister alleged that Congress leaders were more concerned about illegal Bangladeshi migrants than the interests of indigenous Assamese people.

Responding to criticism, CM Sarma said the issue of illegal immigration was crucial for Assam and directly linked to the identity and existence of its people. He also defended his recent remarks related to the term “Miya Muslims,” stating that he had not coined the phrase and that it had been used within the migrant community itself.
