Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday said that the north eastern state is becoming a hotbed for Islamic fundamentalists after police found links of 11 people arrested last week, including one who was running a Madrasa, with Bangladesh-based terror outfit Ansarul Bangla Team. Sarma said that police recovered high-end electronic devices used by sleeper cells in Barpeta, Bongaigaon and Morigaon and incriminating jihadi literature used for indoctrinating and radicalising youth to join the outfit. “…It has been proved beyond reasonable doubt that Assam is becoming a hotbed for Islamic fundamentalists. When you bust 5 modules and the whereabouts of the other 5 Bangladeshi nationals are still not known, then you can imagine the gravity,” Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma told a press briefing.
