Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced on Wednesday (October 22, 2025) that the state government will introduce a series of new bills addressing issues such as love jihad and polygamy during the upcoming Assembly session, expected to be held next month.
Speaking to reporters at an official event in Nagaon, Sarma said the bills will also cover the preservation of Satras (Vaishnavite monasteries) and provide land rights to tea tribes, marking what he described as a “historic” legislative phase for Assam.
“In the coming session of the Assam Assembly, we will introduce some important and historic bills on issues like ‘love jihad,’ polygamy, preservation of Satras, and land rights to tea tribes,” Sarma said.
He added that further details about the draft legislation would be made public once the proposals receive approval from the State Cabinet.
