Sharjeel Imam
Radical Shaheen Bagh speaker Sharjeel Imam who wanted Assam cut-off from India has been arrested in Bihar’s Jahanabad by Delhi police, ANI has reported.
Imam is said to have been one of the organisers of the controversial Shaheen Bagh protest. He was on the run for the past 4-5 days.
After his radical speech went viral on social media, an arrest warrant was issued against him for sedition. Imam then began evading arrest and the police began carrying out raids to nab him. Various cases of sedition have been filed against Imam in states like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Assam.
“If we can organise 5 lakh people, it would be possible to permanently cut off Assam with rest of India...if not permanently, then at least for a few months... only then will the government hear our voice”, Imam had said.
He had also called for Muslims to show their demographic power and shut down cities and not have any sympathies or regard for Mahatma Gandhi.
