Days after she sparked a massive controversy by speaking in favour of Bangladeshis - which Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said was proof of her supporting illegal infiltrators - activist and former Planning Commission member Syeda Saiyidain Hameed has made a U-turn and said people from the country who have entered illegally should be escorted back.
Speaking after an event in Guwahati on Sunday, Ms Hameed said Muslims in Assam are often branded 'Bangladeshis'.
