Asserting that there was no harm in setting up a ‘Miya museum’ by the Bengal-origin Muslims in Assam, Trinamool Congress leader Ripun Bora on Friday claimed that the government has opposed it to divert attention from the burning issues of the state.
The museum has not harmed anybody, Bora told reporters at the sidelines of a programme here.
He was reacting to the sealing of the controversial ‘Miya Museum’, set up in a house allotted under Prime Minister Awas Yojana (PMAY) in Goalpara district, on Tuesday and the subsequent arrest of three persons associated with it under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
