Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday confirmed the arrest of a total of 97 people so far since the Pahalgam Attack alleged to be “anti-nationals” and “anti-hindu”.
97 Anti-National And Anti-Hindu Culprits Behind Bars Now: Assam CM
The Assam Administration had started a detainment streak since the occurrence of the Pahalgam Terror Attacks.
Referring to two recent arrests made by Assam Police, Himanta Biswa made an X post stating ‘Crackdown on Anti-Hindu elements continues’. Recently, Tinsukia Police arrested Md Anisur Rehman for sharing ‘objectionable content on Hinduism’ and Nagaon Police arrested Farijul Islam for a ‘derogatory comment on Lord Ram’. The total toll of arrests in Assam on allegations of being “Anti Hindu” or “Anti National” is now 97 since the terror attack at Pahalgam.
On April 24, two days after the Pahalgam Attack, All India United Democratic Front MLA Aminul Islam was arrested for allegedly defending Pakistan and its complicity in the Pahalgam terror attack. Aminul Islam is a three time MLA and has been in several controversies in the past, specifically on religious grounds. Upon being released on bail, Islam was again detained under the National Security Act (NSA).
On May 2, Hemnata threatened to “break the legs” of those who raised the “Pakistan Zindabad” slogan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam Terror Attack. Addressing a campaign rally, he appealed to the people to pray and give strength to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Army so that Pakistani terrorists hiding anywhere in the world can be brought for "breaking their legs".
