Assam Live Update 2024:- Assam Chief Minister Himanta Vishwa Sharma on Sunday said his government will soon bring in a new law to impose life imprisonment in ‘love jihad’ cases. Speaking at a meeting of the BJP’s extended state executive here, Sharma said, “We had talked about ‘Love Jihad’ during the elections. We will soon bring a law which will have life imprisonment in such cases.” Sharma also said that a new domicile policy will soon be introduced under which only people born in Assam will be eligible for state government jobs.

The Chief Minister said that his government is working to protect the rights of the indigenous people. He said that as per the pre-poll promise, he has been given priority in “one lakh government jobs”, which will become clear when the full list is published. In contrast, up to 30 per cent of constable jobs in the state police force had gone to people from a “particular community” under the Congress government, when the sitting MP from Dhubri was in charge of the home department, Sharma claimed without elaborating.
In this year’s elections, Congress’s Rakibul Hussain won the Dhubri Lok Sabha seat. Sharma said his government has cleared encroached land equal to the size of Chandigarh from illegal residents, but the state still has encroachers occupying land equivalent to “20 times the size of the Northern Union Territory”.

He said other initiatives to protect land rights include a proposal to introduce a law to prohibit the sale of land to people of a “particular community” in undivided Goalpara district. Chief Minister Sharma said that the Assam government has also taken a decision regarding the sale of land between Hindus and Muslims. He said that although the government cannot stop such transactions, it has made it mandatory to seek the consent of the Chief Minister before going ahead.
The state government had issued a similar notification on March 7, banning the sale of land between two different communities for three months to avoid any possible “communal conflict” ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. ALSO READ:-https://livendtv.com/events-at-paris-olympics-2024/
