Assam CM Himanta Biswa: Will Slap NSA on Those Supporting Pahalgam Terror Attack

Assam CM's big statement came in even as he stated that the crackdown on Pakistan supporters will continue unabated in the state.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said that the National Security Act (NSA) will be slapped on all those who have supported the Pahalgam terror attack and Pakistan.

“Yesterday, the secretary of the Chatra Mukti Sangram Parishad was arrested for supporting Pakistan. Whoever speaks against the nation will be arrested. If needed, NSA will be slapped on them,” said CM Sarma.

“Those who will not repent and there is a likelihood that they will do it again will definitely be booked under NSA. NSA is not for a past crime, it is basically to prevent future crime. So those who are not repenting and there is a very high likelihood that they are going to repeat, we are going to arrest them under NSA”, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said.

“Sedition charges have already been slapped and we are very tough. My job is to make sure that in Assam there is no pro-Pakistani and pro-Bangladeshi element. So my fight is against pro-Pakistani and pro-Bangladeshi elements. We are going to take the hardest possible stand against the sympathizers of Pakistan and the present ruler of Bangladesh”, he added.

The Assam CM’s big statement came in even as he stated that the crackdown on Pakistan supporters will continue unabated in the state.

As many as nine persons have been arrested so far for directly or indirectly supporting Pakistan and depending on the heinous terror attack in Pahalgam.

Among those arrested are AIUDF’s Dhing MLA , Aminul Islam, Md Jabir Hussain from Hailakandi, Md AK Bahauddin and Md Javed Mazumdar from Silchar, Md Mhahar Mia from Morigaon, Md Sahil Ali from Sivasagar, Md jarif Ali from Barpeta and one fresh arrest in Hajo.

The district secretary of the Satra Mukti Sangram Parishad, Biswanath district Anil Bania was also arrested for posting anti-national matters on social media.

This act empowers the Central and State Governments to detain a person to prevent him or her from acting in any manner prejudicial to the security of India and India’s relations with foreign countries.
