Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (April 1, 2026) warned the people of Assam against a “dangerous communal violence law” that the Congress allegedly plans to introduce in the State, to target the “majority community” and “appease the minorities”.
Addressing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) poll rallies in Dhemaji and Sonitpur districts, he highlighted the development projects of the NDA government in Assam, but indicated that a Congress design targeting the Hindu community could undo the progress seen in the last 10 years.

Mr. Modi claimed that the Congress had tried to enact a communal violence law before the 2014 Lok Sabha election to appease its “fixed vote bank”, which would have been unfair to the majority community.
“The law sought to hold the majority community responsible for riots, and religious minorities were considered victims forever. The BJP-NDA did not allow this Bill, communal in itself, to pass. Now, 12 years later, the Congress is announcing a similar law in Assam,” he said.
