SRIBHUMI: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has justified the arrest of AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam, citing the legislator's alleged statements favouring Pakistan.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, on arresting those who issued statements in favour of Pakistan, the Assam chief minister said, "8-9 people have been arrested so far. That is why he (Aminul Islam) is in prison. I will do this again. I will take any action against such people."
A district court in Nagaon, Assam, ordered a four-day police remand for AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam on Friday after his appearance before the judicial authorities.
Previously, chief minister Sarma had shared comprehensive details about the arrests and promised firm action against anyone found supporting or advocating for Pakistan regarding the recent terrorist incident in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
In his X post, he wrote, "Assam will not tolerate any individual who, directly or indirectly, supports or defends Pakistan in connection with the heinous attack in Pahalgam. So far, the following individuals have been arrested by @assampolice for directly or indirectly promoting the cause of Pakistan in Social media, Hailakandi - Md. Jabir Hussain, Silchar - Md. A.K. Bahauddin, Md. Javed Mazumder, Morigaon - Md. Mahahar Mia, Md. Mujihirul Islam, Nagaon - Md. Aminul Islam, Sivasagar - Md. Sahil Ali Further arrests are underway as part of our ongoing crackdown."
In another post, he said two more are arrested in connection to attack, "As part of its intensified crackdown on individuals promoting anti-national sentiments, the @assampolice has made two additional arrests: Barpeta: Md. Jarif Ali (25), also known as Sharif Sing, Biswanath: Anil Bania, District Secretary of the Satra Mukti Sangram Parishad"
On Thursday, Nagaon SP Swapnaneel Deka reported that AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam had posted a video on social media containing inappropriate remarks about the recent Pahalgam terror incident.
The police took action after Islam was found defending the terrorists in the video. Subsequently, they registered a case and took him into custody. According to Deka, Islam is scheduled to appear before the court on Friday.
"Today, we saw a video circulating on social media in which MLA Aminul Islam made a very wrong statement on the recent terror attack in Pahalgam. He was defending the terrorists... So we have taken cognisance of this video and registered a case, arrested him, and he will be produced in court tomorrow", Swapnaneel Deka said.
Islam was booked under sections 152/196/197(1)/113(3)/352/353 of the Bharatiya Nyay Samhita (BNS), according to an official 'X' post by Assam police.
