Assam: Badruddin Ajmal, leader of the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF), sparked controversy by asserting that Muslims were prominent in crimes like robbery, dacoity, rape, and loot. Despite facing criticism, Ajmal defended his statement, linking the crime rates to the lack of education within the community.
Ajmal clarified his remarks, stating that he intended to highlight the urgent need for education among Muslim youth. He emphasized that low literacy rates were a significant issue leading to the community’s underdevelopment. He urged young men to respect women and underscored the importance of education in shaping a better future.
The controversy emerged after Ajmal’s speech at an alumni meeting in Assam, where he expressed concerns about the educational challenges faced by the Muslim community and linked these issues to rising crime rates. The comments have sparked debates about the importance of education and its impact on social development.
