AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam detained under NSA after bail in Assam

Guwahati, May 16: Opposition AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam has been detained under the National Security Act (NSA) in Assam’s Nagaon district for allegedly defending Pakistan and making statements linked to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.

His detention came just minutes after he was granted bail on earlier sedition charges.

Islam, a three-time legislator from Dhing, was arrested on April 24 for allegedly making “misleading and instigating statements in public, which went viral and had the potential to create an adverse situation.”

Though he was released on bail on Wednesday, he was immediately re-detained under the stringent NSA and lodged again in Nagaon Central Jail.

“The Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate of Nagaon has placed Shri Aminul Islam, MLA from Dhing, under preventive detention under Section 3(2) of the National Security Act, 1980,” the Assam Chief Minister said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has distanced itself from Islam’s remarks, stating that the comments were made in his capacity and did not reflect the party’s position.
