As per local and regional media reports, Alom said, “Muslims ruled the country from 1199 to 1897, but committed no atrocities on Hindus during that period. However, Muslims have been discriminated against for the last 70 years and there is a conspiracy against Muslims. However, Muslims are more in number in Assam now. If things continue like this, Muslims will attack..they just need some time.” He added, “But we (Muslims) will not move to Bangladesh, we would rather move to China or Burma”.
