“Will tear Himanta Biswa Sarma into pieces”: AIUDF’s Badruddin Ajmal
A controversy has erupted in Assam after a video surfaced showing Badruddin Ajmal making a provocative remark against Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, in which he said he would “tear him into pieces.” The statement was reportedly made in response to alleged derogatory comments targeting the Miya Muslim community, which Ajmal strongly condemned.
The remarks come at a politically sensitive time, with elections approaching in the state. Ajmal, who leads the All India United Democratic Front, defended his statement as a reaction to offensive comments made against the community. However, his words have drawn sharp criticism from various quarters, with many calling them inflammatory and irresponsible.
Critics argue that such rhetoric could deepen divisions and disrupt communal harmony in the state. Several political leaders have urged Ajmal to apologise, while some have called on election authorities to take note of the incident. The video has since gone viral, triggering widespread debate and concern among the public.
The controversy has once again highlighted the need for restraint in political discourse, especially during election periods. Many observers stress that leaders must be mindful of their language and avoid statements that could incite tension, emphasizing the importance of promoting unity and peaceful coexistence among communities.
