Guwahati: Making a breakthrough to the Muslim-majority belt from the lower and western Assam, burdened with the tag “illegal immigrants”, will always be a difficult proposition for right-wing organizations such as RSS.
But Covid-19 vaccination gave Sangh activists rare opportunities to reach people and also made their presence feel, violating a religious barrier.
Prove the wrong myth of vaccination, a member of the Seemanta Chetana Mancha (SCM), an active RSS affiliated forum along the international border, has opened the door of his district office in the South Salma-Mankachar district, which has around 95% of Muslim populations, for immunization.
“Today, we will vaccinate around 300 people on our session site.
We serve humanity, not people from certain religious beliefs.
About 95% of Muslims will benefit from this session site,” said Dilip Roy, Vice President of the SCM district unit.

Fear of the death of the time in two years after vaccination has gripped people in the West Assam section, which is an obstacle to carrying out vaccinations.
“It’s very difficult to overcome myth to May,” Islam said.
