Watch | Why Is Modi Silent as the Assam CM Violates the Constitution? Former Supreme Court Judge Speaks

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Sarma has said Assamese should give trouble to Bengali-speaking Muslims of Assam – whom he calls 'Miya', a pejorative term. He says Bengali-speaking Muslims call themselves 'Miya' and he’s only using language used by the Supreme Court.
