GUWAHATI: There has been an FIR lodging spree against BJP MLA Shiladitya Dev in various police stations in the State, including a few in Guwahati, on Sunday. The complainants are the ones who are badly hurt at the MLA's alleged statement that former AXM (Axam Xahitya Xabha) president Syed Abdul Malik was an 'intellectual jehadi'.
While APCC's (Assam Pradesh Congress Committee) minority department chairman Salman Khan, Asom Songrami Yuva Mancha president Amir Hussain and organizational secretary Sankar Thakuria lodged an FIR against the MLA at Hatigaon police station, the All Asom Goriya Yuva-Chatra Parishad president in-charge Mokbul Hussain lodged another FIR at Jalukbari outpost. A case (388/20 u/section 153(A)/505 (ii) IPC) has been registered at Hatigaon Police Station to this effect.
On the other hand, members of the Sadou Asom Goriya-Moriya Deshi Jatiya Parishad staged a sit-in at Dighalipukhuripar demanding immediate arrest of the MLA. In a statement issued to the media on Sunday, the Parishad said 'on the pretext of the Thelamara incident the MLA hurling insults at former AXX president Syed Abdul Malik is a direct attack on the AXX and the indigenous people of the State. We condemn such a statement from the MLA. Such a suspicious person has no right to make such a comment." Following an appeal from the Prishad's president Hafijul Ahmed FIRs have been filed against the MLA at various police stations in the State.Also Watch: CHECK OUT: Likham: The Book Made of Gold
