First Published: 7th May, 2025 11:31 IST
The total number went up to 45 after two more persons were arrested from Sonitpur and Goalpara district.
Two more persons have been apprehended in Assam for “defending Pakistan on Indian soil” following the Pahalgam terror attack, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Tuesday.
The total number went up to 45 after two more persons were arrested from Sonitpur and Goalpara district.
Arrested traitors have been identified as Sajid Ahmed and Rojan Ali.
“#Update on Crackdown against traitors for defending Pakistan on Indian soil- 22.00 | 06 May..Sajid Ahmed arrested by @SonitpurPolice, Rojan Ali arrested by @Goalpara_Police,” CM Sarma said in a post on X.
“So far 45 Anti Nationals have been parked in our JAILS. We are on the lookout for more”, he added.
Earlier, opposition AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam was arrested on sedition charges for allegedly defending Pakistan and its complicity in the Pahalgam terror attack.
On Friday, Sarma threatened to break the legs of those who raised ‘Pakistan zindabad’ slogan in the aftermath of the Jammu and Kashmir terror attack.
Addressing a campaign rally for the panchayat elections, 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”.
Terrorists struck Baisaran, a prime tourist location, in Pahalgam in south Kashmir on April 22, killing at least 26 people, mostly tourists, and injuring several others.
