Guwahati (Assam) – Assam Congress MLA, Aftab Uddin Mollah has been arrested for his derogatory remark against Hindus. The Assam Pradesh Congress Committee had served a show cause notice to Mollah over his statement.

Mollah had said, “Wherever there is a rape, always a Sadhu (Hindu Priest) or Namghoria (caretaker of Vaisnav Prayer House) is involved. They blame Muslims to hide the sins committed by Hindu Priests,” Mollah reportedly could be heard saying in the meeting, the video of which is making rounds on social media.

Editorial Perspective

It is noteworthy that Congress MLAs remain silent when Maulana (Islamic scholars) and Maulavi (Islamic religious leaders) are caught in rape cases.
