  • Assam has detained 11 individuals across multiple districts for posting 'Pakistan Zindabad' on Facebook, including opposition MLA Aminul Islam and a farmers' group leader.
  • Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has stated that those found supporting Pakistan could face charges under the National Security Act.
  • The arrests span districts such as Silchar, Hailakandi, Morigaon, Nagaon, Sivasagar, Barpeta, Biswanath, and Sribhumi.
