Nagaon, Assam – May 15, 2025, Virthli (ONP): Aminul Islam, Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Dhing constituency, has been placed under preventive detention by the Nagaon district administration under Section 3(2) of the National Security Act (NSA), 1980.
The action was confirmed by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in a tweet posted earlier today. The preventive detention order was issued by the Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate of Nagaon based on a report submitted by the Superintendent of Police.
According to the report, the MLA made a provocative public speech during a Panchayat election campaign. The situation escalated after a video surfaced, allegedly showing Islam making inflammatory and unfounded claims linking the recent Pahalgam terror attack to a purported government conspiracy.
Authorities have cited concerns over potential threats to public order and national security in justifying the use of the stringent NSA provisions against the legislator.
