Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee backed Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma amid the controversy over the term 'Miya' and the debate on illegal migration. She wrote on X, "Sir, I don't think we Assamese...need any explanation regarding the 'miya' word. We clearly know it's Bangladeshi muslim illegal migration. It hurts them who are one of them. Assam is rising with you."
