GUWAHATI: Sharjeel Imam, the JNU student booked for sedition, has admitted during interrogation by Guwahati police that he met Assam Lok Sabha MP Badruddin Ajmal at his Delhi residence prior to his arrest to discuss the anti-CAA agitation, minister Himanta Biswa Sarma claimed on Monday.“Not only Ajmal, he had been in touch with many people in Assam over phone. The police are investigating the matter. The state government is tracking developments related to his interrogation and the findings will be revealed from time to time,” Sarma said.Ajmal is the chief of the All India United Democratic Front, which has 12 seats in the 126-member assembly. Brought to Guwahati for interrogation on February 20, Sharjeel was taken to a hospital here on Monday for a medical check-up after the court of the Kamrup chief judicial magistrate extended his police remand by another four days.The JNU student was arrested in Bihar after several states filed complaints against him for allegedly inciting violence through his speeches. In one of several videos purportedly showing him making provocative speeches, he is heard saying that the “chicken’s neck” connecting the northeast with the rest of the country should be severed.“Sharjeel was talking about separating Assam and the northeast from India. So, whoever was in touch with him should be investigated,” Assam BJP president Ranjeet Dass said.
