These arrests are part of the state’s ongoing crackdown on individuals accused of supporting Pakistan, especially after the recent escalation of tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 civilians.

The first arrest came on April 25, when Aminul Islam, an MLA of the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) from Dhing constituency was arrested by the Assam Police Crime Branch after his highly controversial remarks alleging the involvement of the central government in recent and past terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.

The state government continues to send a strong message of zero tolerance towards activities that undermine India’s sovereignty and national unity.

Earlier, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had issued a stern warning to those acting against national interest and said, “I want to warn everyone and all anti-India forces, any attempt to support Pakistan, whether directly or indirectly, from Assam will not be tolerated. I have directed Assam Police to take stringent action against such acts.”
