Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday issued some SoP in case a new Imam enters a village. He urged the people of Assam to immediately inform the police station in case any unknown Imam comes to their village. 

This comes after two suspected terrorists linked with Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) were arrested by police in Assam's Goalpara district on Aug 20.

 

"The policy will verify, only after that they can stay. Our Muslim community of Assam is helping us in this work", Sarma said.

 

Talking about introducing a portal for Imams, the Assam CM said. "We're also making a portal for Imam & other people who are coming to madrasa from outside the state. Those who are from Assam, do not need to register their names in that portal, people from outside will have to register their names in the portal"
