GUWAHATI: The Bharatiya Janata Party, Assam unit today slammed the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), an alliance partner of Congress after its General Secretary Maulana Fazlul Karim Qasimi got arrested for allegedly making a pro-Taliban post on social media.

A day after his arrest, the ruling party on Sunday, urged Assam police to start an investigation against people supporting the Taliban with promptness.

The BJP said that Qasimi not only openly supported the Taliban in social media but also made derogatory comments against the press in the country.

Coming down heavily on its alliance partner Congress, the party said, “Alliance partner Congress is keeping mum. However such silence is not new for the party. It was silent when Abdur Rahim Ajmal, son of AIUDF Chief and MP of Dhubri Badruddin Ajmal in a public meeting in the run-up to the Assembly election made a very communal statement that this time Assam will be ruled by people donning Beard, Hat and Lungi”

The AIUDF today expelled Fazlul Karim Qasimi after facing backlash from all quarters.
