Guwahati: The leader of the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Badruddin Ajmal grabbed headlines once more on Friday when he said that Hindus like to engage in illicit relationships up till the age of 40.
Ajmal said, “Hindu men like to have illicit relationships with many women till the age of 40, after which they look to marry and settle down finding no other options.”
The controversial figure said that Hindus are incapable of having healthy children at that age after marriage.
The AIUDF chief further said, “That is the reason why Muslims get married at tender ages of 18, 20 or 22.”
Badruddin Ajmal publicly challenged Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to practise “love jihad,” igniting new controversy. The CM should elope with two to three Muslim girls, he said.
He said, “Inform us where they are kept and we will reach there with sweets. If needed, he should engage in love jihad by taking home young Muslim girls.”
“We will see if he is capable of doing that or not,” added Ajmal.
Meanwhile, his odd and contentious remarks have sparked responses across the nation.
It should be mentioned that earlier in November, Badruddin Ajmal was re-elected as the president of the AIUDF.
During the party’s central executive meeting in Guwahati which was attended by party leaders from various districts and sister organisations, Ajmal was unanimously re-elected as the president.
While talking to ANI after being elected as the President of AIUDF, Ajmal said, “AIUDF is ready to join the all-India level opposition alliance to fight against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). We have welcomed the all-India grand alliance being formed by Nitish Kumar. We want it to succeed in Assam too. They’ll come here in a month. We expect Mamata Banerjee and Congress to join it by then. This has been formed to bid adieu to BJP at the Centre.”
Regarding the Hijab controversy and the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) he also criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP-led administration.
