"A prominent Christian tribal leader of the state, Nichols Roy said We know what the policy of the Muslim league is in Assam. Even now the Muslim League in Bengal wants to send thousands upon thousands of immigrants to Assam and take possession of the land of Assam. That is feared by everyone. The people of the Hills are afraid of immigration and say that they will fight it to the last. The people of the plains don’t want to be swamped. They don’t want Assam, which is a non-Muslim majority province now, to be turned into a Muslim majority province. … Once we go into the section, we are committed to a wrong principle, we are acceding to the unjust demand of the League."
