Himanta further highlighted that the Congress party take stands for Muslims but not for Hindus. "Congress has proved that if there is any problem for Muslims anywhere in the world, they are there for them but if Hindus are in problem, they will not be there," he said.

"Govt of India hasn't allowed accepting anyone from the other side of the borders, you can't allow 1-2 crore people. The possible solution is to work through diplomatic channels and provide them (Bangladeshi Hindus) security in Bangladesh. Whatever the central govt decides, we, the state will have to follow," Himanta said.
