Cong and AJP has already filed FIRs against Badruddin Ajmal for his controversial remarks regarding Hindu marriage age.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday came down heavily on AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal for his controversial remarks on Hindu boys’ and girls’ marriage age and said that nobody is above the law.
“Everybody is under the law. Action can be taken as per law whenever necessary”, the CM Said responding to reporters’ question if the AIUDF chief would be arrested for his controversial and sexist remarks.
Using mosquito and mosquito net as an analogy, the CM said, “the mosquito is man and the mosquito net is the law. If the mosquito has to be caught, then why so much of discussions and talks”.
The Lok Sabha member from Dhubri, Ajmal had on December 3 said that Hindus should adopt the Muslim formula of marrying early and producing more children. The Maulana even went to the extent of comparing women to fertile land. He also said at Hindu men have illegitimate relationships till the age of 40.
His comments sparked a huge controversy with not just the BJP and other Opposition parties like Congress and Asom Jatiya Parishad reacting sharply, his own partymen too reacted terming his comments ‘objectionable’ and uncalled for.
The Congress and the AJP had filed FIRs against Ajmal and the Assam BJP called him a ‘political terrorist’.
