Mosque Demolished in Assam as Thousands Face Evictions
Authorities in a district in Assam, India, demolished a mosque and a nearby madrasa during ongoing eviction drives. The operation displaced over 4,000 people and destroyed at least 750 homes, primarily affecting Muslim Bengali-speaking minorities. Worshippers were filmed praying amidst the rubble of the destroyed religious site. The state government, led by the Chief Minister, has used heavy machinery to clear land and remove structures. The local High Court is scheduled to review petitions regarding these actions soon. Meanwhile, various organizations plan a large protest rally in the capital to oppose the measures.
