AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal condemns MLA Aminul Islam's statement on Pahalgam attack, says "it's not party's comment"

Barpeta (Assam) [India], April 24 (ANI): All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) president Badruddin Ajmal on Thursday condemned his party MLA Aminul Islam's statement on the Pahalgam terror attack.
Aminul Islam has been arrested for his "derogatory remarks" on the Pahalgam terrorist attack
Ajmal said that the statement given by Aminul Islam is his remark and it has nothing to do with AIUDF. The AIUDF chief said that the statement made by Islam is "unfortunate", and at this time, everyone should stand with the Indian government. He added that terrorism has no religion, and it is an attempt to defame Islam and the Muslim community.
"I am Badruddin Ajmal, president of AIUDF... I have just received the news that Haji Aminul (Aminul Islam) has been arrested for commenting on the Pahalgam incident. I have heard the comment and I told yesterday what my stand is on it. What Haji Aminul said is very unfortunate. At this time we have to stand together with the Indian government. A terrorist is just a terrorist; he does not have any caste or religion. It is very wrong to condemn those people who are working in the name of terrorism, defaming Islam-Muslims, and defaming the community. The comment made by Aminul is Aminul's own comment, it is not our party's comment", Badruddin Ajmal said in a video released by the AIUDF office.
"Assam Police arrested AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam for his derogatory remarks on the terror attack in Pahalgam. Police have taken him to the Nagaon police station", Assam DGP Harmeet Singh said in a statement.
According to a post on 'X' by the Assam Police, Aminul Islam was arrested for making a misleading and instigating statement during a public gathering. The statement went viral on social media and had the potential to create an adverse situation. Islam was booked under section 152/196/197(1)/113(3)/352/353 of the Bharatiya Nyay Samhita (BNS).

"Assam will take the strongest possible action against anyone who dares to defend--directly or indirectly--the horrific, Pakistan-sponsored terror attack in Pahalgam.
