Thousands of Assamese and tribal people held a torchlight march in Dhemaji district, Assam, on July 25. They chanted slogans like 'Bangladeshi Hosiar' ('Bangladeshis beware') and 'Bangladeshi Go Back', supporting Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s eviction drive against suspected Bangladeshi Muslim settlers in forest and government lands. Protestors demanded that all such suspected settlers vacate Dhemaji within 15 days, threatening to take action if their ultimatum was not met.
