Amir Hamja CFI
The Assam police on November 11 arrested a member of the Campus Front of India, the student wing of the Popular Front of India (PFI). They claimed to have found anti-CAA, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and RSS posters at his residence.
The man was identified as Amir Hamja, a native of Assam. The police team also claimed that material in support of the hijab was also found at Hamja’s residence. The police claimed that the 27-year-old man was absconding for a while. A metropolitan court in Bengaluru ordered three-day transit remand to the Assam police.
Hamja will be produced at a local court in Guwahati on Monday. It is to be noted that 40 Muslims have been arrested across Assam following the Centre’s five-year ban on the PFI. The Centre claimed that the PFI is promoting terrorism. However, the outfit rejected the Centre’s ban as arbitrary.
