The move has raised concerns among Assam’s Muslim population, who make up roughly 35 percent of the state’s 31 million people.
A new website will allow indigenous residents in “sensitive areas” to apply for arms licences, Sarma said on Wednesday.
Opposition leaders condemned the move, warning it could fuel gang violence and personal vendettas.
Sarma belongs to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Large-scale evictions targeting “illegal foreigners or doubtful citizens” have been a key part of this agenda.
Assam was the first state to implement a contentious citizenship verification exercise in 2019, excluding nearly two million people.
Sarma warned that “indigenous people” in border districts feel insecure due to recent developments in Bangladesh. – AFP
