Sarma said that it is a kind of appeasement politics towards the Muslim society which Congress leaders are indulging for long.

“I would like to thank all the member bodies of BAC for their faith in me. It is an honour and responsibility that I would like to deliver to the best of my capacities. I shall contribute my best to strengthen in the region and bring in better coordination among Asian countries,” Sarma said after the AGM.
