The Assam Jatiya Parishad confirmed that 16 FIR’s have been registered in Assam against social activist and ex Planning Commission member Syeda Hameed. The complaints have emerged from 16 districts.
Speaking to the media, AJP spokesperson Jiyaur Rahman revealed, “FIRs have been registered against Syeda Hameed in 16 districts of Assam. We are demanding her arrest for her anti-Asaam and communal statements.” He added that their workers will continue to register complaints in various police stations.
Hameed gave her statement at an event in Guwahati on August 24. She had said, “If Bangladeshis live in Assam, then what is the problem?” Her statement stirred controversy from regional groups who alleged that she was “insulting Assamese identity and tried to fuel communal tensions.”
The AJP stated that action must be taken and demanded that the police should act under sections like 195 pertaining to offences against public peace, 353 of statements intended to cause public mischief and 356 for defamation and various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
