Guwahati: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Assam Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday alleged that supporters of All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) president Badruddin Ajmal raised “Pakistan zindabad” slogan on his arrival at the Silchar airport, a charge.
The AIUDF denied the charge saying the slogan – “Aziz Khan Zindabad” – was twisted by the BJP to malign the party. Khan is a party MLA who was accompanying the AIUDF chief on Thursday when the alleged incident occurred.
Sarma, the convenor of the Northeast Democratic Alliance (NEDA), the NDA’s version in the region, posted a video on his Twitter account, showing a group of people raising slogans in front of the airport building at Silchar in Cachar district of the state.
Sarma tweeted, “Look at the brazenness of these fundamentalists anti-national people who are shouting PAKISTAN ZINDABAD while they welcome MP Badruddin Ajmal. This thoroughly exposes Congress, which is encouraging such forces by forging an alliance. We shall fight them tooth and nail. Jai Hind “
