Assam CM warns of NSA action against 14 arrested for seditious comments post Pahalgam attack.
At least 14 people have been arrested in Assam so far for making ‘seditious comments’ in the wake of the Pahalgam attack, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday (April 26, 2025).
He warned that if required, these people would be booked under the National Security Act (NSA).
“There are no similarities between Bharat and Pakistan. The two countries are enemy nations and we must remain like that,” Mr. Sarma told reporters on the sidelines of a programme at the State BJP office in Guwahati.
He said a leader of Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti was apprehended on Friday for his ‘anti-India comment' and warned that anyone who takes such a stance will be arrested.
"If required, we will impose provisions of NSA on them. We are examining all (social media) posts, and action will be taken against those who, we feel, are anti-national," the Chief Minister asserted.
In a post on X, he said the number of arrested persons for making ‘pro-Pakistan’ comments has increased to 14.
"Total 14 arrests made till now against people who have made seditious comments," he said, sharing the update on ‘crackdown against traitors’ till 7 p.m. on Saturday.
