All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) MLA Aminul Islam was detained under the National Security Act. After more than 6 months in custody, the Gauhati High Court has canceled his detention order and directed that he be released if he is not wanted in any other case.
Islam, MLA from Dhing constituency of Assam, was arrested for his statement given at a rally on April 24, in which he had said that the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22 was a conspiracy by the BJP government at the Centre. On May 14, he got bail in this case, but on the same day he was detained under the National Security Act (NSA).
What did the Justice of Gauhati High Court say?
A bench of Justices Kalyan Rai Surana and Rajesh Majumdar of the Gauhati High Court on Friday (November 28) said the order of Islam’s detention under the NSA was illegal as the authorities had unexplained delay in acting on the application against his detention and also did not inform him about his right to present his case before the Center until the Center reminded the state of it.
What argument did the lawyer of Islam give?
A lawyer from Islam’s lawyer Shantanu Borthakur’s team said the MLA is expected to be released later on Friday. Islam was arrested on April 24 on charges including BNS Section 152, which deals with acts threatening the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India, and a similar charge of sedition under the IPC.
His detention under the NSA after he was granted bail on May 14 was based on an order of the Nagaon DC, which cited a report by the Superintendent of Police that Islam continued to indulge in activities prejudicial to public order and the security of the state and upon his speech the report said he was satisfied that Islam may continue to indulge in activities prejudicial to the security of the state.
