Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma said Assam has become a hub of “jihadi activities” with five modules linked to the Bangladesh-based terror outfit Ansarul Islam on Thursday.
Six Bangladeshi nationals belonging to Ansarul Islam had entered Assam to indoctrinate youths, and one of them was arrested when the first module was broken into in Barpeta in March this year, Sarma told a press conference.
Indoctrination of Muslim youth in private madrassas by imams from outside the state is worrisome, says Chief Minister.
He added, “Only one of these Bangladeshis has been arrested so far, and I appeal to the public to inform the local police if anyone from outside the state is a teacher or imam in a madrasa”.
