Senior Congress leader Debabrata Saikia on Friday said that a recent statement of Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma that "Assam was becoming a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism" is a matter of great concern and "Jihadi or terrorist activities" in the State must be curbed.
The Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly, in a statement, said a cabinet minister had recently alleged that AIUDF has links with 'Jihadis' active in the State and that charge must be investigated.
The LoP's statement comes in the backdrop of the recent arrests of several persons with alleged links with a Bangladesh-based terror outfit from different parts of the State.
