Owaisi Predicts 'Miya' Voter Tsunami Will Reshape Assam's Dhing Constituency on April 9
In a fiery campaign speech delivered in Morigaon, Assam, on Thursday, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi made a bold declaration regarding the upcoming electoral battle. Addressing a rally in support of AIUDF candidate Matiur Rahman for the Dhing constituency, Owaisi asserted that the collective power of the 'miya' voter community is poised to decisively alter the political landscape on polling day, April 9.
A Wave of Support for AIUDF
"I sense a tsunami of the entire AIUDF supporter base approaching," Owaisi proclaimed to the gathered crowd. "All miyas united will change the game on April 9." He launched a sharp critique against the incumbent Laharighat MLA, labeling him as "absolutely useless" for allegedly failing to deliver any tangible development or service to the people over the past five years.
Direct Appeal Against Political Rivals
Owaisi strategically urged voters to reject the Raijor Dal candidate, Akhil Gogoi, by invoking past controversies. "Who is this Akhil Gogoi who filed objections to remove the names of 20 lakh 'miya' people from the National Register of Citizens (NRC)?" he questioned rhetorically. He framed the choice starkly for the electorate: "Can you support those who sought to erase your identity from the NRC? Raijor Dal does not deserve your votes. Instead, cast your ballot for AIUDF's Matiur Rahman and ensure his victory."
Accusations of 'Politics of Hatred' Against Assam CM
The AIMIM leader escalated his rhetoric by directly accusing Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma of fostering division. "The Chief Minister is engaged in a politics of hatred in this state," Owaisi charged. He referenced threatening statements, alleging, "They claim to have broken our bones and vow to make our lives miserable. But we fear no one." Owaisi expressed a firm belief in divine justice for what he termed as ongoing oppression.
Assertion of Community Resilience and Rights
In a powerful statement of identity and endurance, Owaisi declared, "The world will endure as long as the miyas are alive." He highlighted a critical issue facing the community, claiming that over 50,000 Muslim households have been demolished, rendering families homeless. Linking this to the broader electoral stakes, he urged voters to support AIUDF chief Badaruddin Ajmal to safeguard the rights and protections of these affected individuals.
Note: The term 'miya' is widely recognized as a pejorative label used in Assam to refer to Muslim migrants of Bangladeshi origin, a context central to Owaisi's mobilization efforts in this politically charged environment.
