Muhammed Ashraf Seeks Removal of Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Over ‘Point Blank Shot’ Video

Muhammed Ashraf, National General Secretary of the Social Democratic Party of India, unequivocally condemns the dangerous and repeated incitement to violence and hatred against the Muslim community by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

The deleted video posted by the Bharatiya Janata Party Assam unit on February 7, 2026, titled Point Blank Shot, marks an outrageous low in Indian political discourse. In this 17 second clip, Sarma was shown symbolically firing an air rifle at individuals clearly portrayed as Muslims, overlaid with menacing captions such as Foreigner Free Assam, No Mercy, Why Did You Not Go to Pakistan, and There Is No Forgiveness to Bangladeshis.

The fusion of real footage and artificial intelligence-generated imagery openly glorified targeted violence and ethnic expulsion, provoking justified national outrage before the post was swiftly removed.

This incident is not an isolated lapse but the latest chapter in a sustained campaign of communal poison. Sarma has openly declared in the Assam Assembly in November 2025 that Miya Muslims will not be permitted to live peacefully under his rule and that his duty is to harass them through relentless evictions. He has repeatedly spread alarm by asserting that the Muslim population in Assam has surged from 12 percent in 1951 to 40 percent today, forecasting a demographic majority by 2041, and has openly advocated underpaying Muslim workers to compel their exodus from the state.

His government has enacted discriminatory laws against so-called love jihad and land jihad, restricted land sales between Hindus and Muslims, demolished hundreds of madrasas, conducted bulldozer evictions in Muslim-majority areas, and predicted the erasure of several lakh Miya names from voter rolls.

These statements and actions constitute grave violations of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act, multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita concerning the promotion of enmity and incitement to violence, and the core constitutional guarantees of equality, non-discrimination, and the right to life with dignity.

Muhammed Ashraf demanded the immediate dismissal of Himanta Biswa Sarma from the office of Chief Minister, the establishment of a Supreme Court-monitored independent investigation, and swift, stringent prosecution under the full force of law. The secular character of our republic cannot be sacrificed to electoral calculations.
