Assam Congress has refused to brand the Badruddin Ajmal-led AIUDF as a ‘communal’ party.
Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Ripun Bora told reporters in Guwahati on Monday, “We want to tell him that the Indian Constitution has not declared Kerala’s IUML or Assam’s AIUDF as communal.” Bora said the EC has not categorized these two parties as communal. He also alleged that the BJP is till date running Zila Parishads in Darrang, Karimganj and Nagaon districts in alliance with the AIUDF.
Commenting on the recent provocative remarks made by AIUDF president Badruddin Ajmal, Bora said that the Congress has requested the other constituents of the six-party grand alliance not to make comments or statements which may hurt any community. He further added, “But Ajmal has never made any anti-Hindu remarks. BJP has always attempted to incite hatred against Muslims. But the AIUDF has never made any comments to incite hatred against Hindus." APCC vice president and Lok Sabha MP Pradyut Bordoloi said that all constituents of the opposition alliance will have to follow the rules. Commenting on this Bordoloi said, “We think that the AIUDF has so far not made any communal statements. But the Congress will not tolerate if the AIUDF resorts to such kinds of actions in future,”
