The arrested person has been identified as Farijul Haque from Mangaldai in Darrang district.

”Crackdown on pro-Pakistani sympathisers.Total arrests made: 79,” the chief minister posted on ‘X’ on Friday.

Sarma had earlier said the state-wide crackdown on traitors would continue, and nobody would be spared.

The police have launched action against those people who have been allegedly indulging in ”anti-India and pro-Pakistan activities”.

The chief minister had also said that the provisions of the National Security Act (NSA) would be imposed on certain people arrested for their alleged pro-Pakistan activities, but not on all.

Opposition AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam was arrested on sedition charges for allegedly defending Pakistan and its complicity in the Pahalgam terror attack but after he was granted bail in this case, he was booked under the NSA.
