Two people have been arrested for allegedly being "anti-Hindu" from different parts of Assam following the Pahalgam terror attack, taking the total number of arrests to 97 so far, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Monday.
   In a post on X, Sarma said one person each was apprehended from Tinsukia and Nagaon districts.
   "Crackdown on anti-Hindu elements continues... 97 anti-national and anti-Hindu culprits behind bars now," he added.
   The arrested person from Tinsukia had shared objectionable content on Hinduism on social media, while the accused from Nagaon made a derogatory comment on Lord Ram, the CM stated.
   Earlier, opposition AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam was arrested on sedition charges for allegedly defending Pakistan and its complicity in the Pahalgam terror attack.
   After getting bail in the case, Islam was again detained under the National Security Act (NSA).
   On May 2, Sarma threatened to break the legs of those who raised the 'Pakistan zindabad' slogan in the aftermath of the Jammu and Kashmir terror attack.
   Addressing a campaign rally for the panchayat elections, he had appealed to the people to pray and give strength to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian Army so that Pakistani terrorists hiding anywhere in the world can be brought for "breaking their legs".
   Terrorists struck a prime tourist location in Pahalgam in south Kashmir on April 22 killing 26 people, mostly tourists, and injuring several others.
