Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Arshad Madani claimed he wrote to Sonia Gandhi asking her not to give Himanta Biswa Sarma a Congress ticket due to his "RSS mentality." Madani accused Sarma of displacing 50,000 Muslims through eviction drives. Sarma, a former Congress leader who joined the BJP in 2015, responded by saying Assam would fight against such threats. The controversy arose from Sarma's government clearing encroached land, affecting over 50,000 people, many from the Bengali-speaking Muslim community. BJP leaders criticized Congress for appeasement.
