Ahead of the Assam Assembly elections, Antarashtriya Hindu Parishad leader Dr Pravin Togadia demanded DNA tests on 50 lakh alleged illegal Bangladeshis in the state and their deportation to Dhaka. He urged Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to act decisively, drawing parallels with Ahom general Lachit Borphukan's resistance against Mughals. Togadia argued that such deportations would eliminate the need for special revision of electoral rolls.
