Friends in media haven't been able to decode the real reason behind using banner in Arabic scripture at AIUDF Chief @BadruddinAjmal's program at Goalpara.

Let me decode that for you.

Note the day in which the banner was used, it was just a day after Assam Govt announced that Assamese language will have same status along with Bodo in signboards at BTAD. It's already crystal clear that BJP will make 'Assamese language' an election issue this time.

"So at the time when BJP is fighting to protect the Assamese language, @BadruddinAjmal is promoting Arabic language in the state".

Just think who will benefit from statement like this.

I believe that @BadruddinAjmal orchestrated this whole incident of using Arabic scripture with proper planning to offer BJP an issue or talking point.

Notable that @himantabiswa is frequently using the word 'Clash of civilizations' these days. A writer by the name Samuel Hantington wrote a book named Clash of civilizations after US-Afghan war by portraying that a war between Islam and rest of the world had started.

Himanta Biswa Sarma's theory of 'Second battle of Saraighat' has become outdated now. The new theory is 'Clash of Civilizations'. And to provide justification to the theory, @BadruddinAjmal orchestrated the whole drama with secret understanding between him and @himantabiswa.

Ajmal did the same thing before 2016 Assembly Election. He made an inciting statement at a rally in Baghbar that "Modi organised the Hindus together, we Muslims should also get organised together". This statement was used by @BJP4Assam as their major campaign machinery.

7/9
News Live telecasted that rally Live from Baghbar at that time, this time too News Live is the first channel to report the news of using Arabic scripture by Ajmal. This similar pattern of reporting by a channel points towards similar strategy used for both the incidents.

8/9
Media ignored another aspect of the program at Goalpara. @BadruddinAjmal is buying votes using the donations from some NGO in Kuwait. Foreign donors donate money to Ajmal's NGO for development of the poor, not to turn them into beneficiary.
