However, queries about the population information associated with Pasmanda Muslims inside the country didn’t get any answer. The TMC leader asked 3 questions in which queries were regarding the countrywide population. She also asked if the government had any file of population records on Pasmanda Muslims and a question associated with the socio-monetary reputation of the community within the United states.
