Assam: FIR filed against AIUDF Chief Badruddin Ajmal, alleged for terror links

GUWAHATI: Assam BJP leader Satya Ranjan Borah on Friday lodged a police complaint against the Lok Sabha MP and chief of All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Badruddin Ajmal for receiving funds from some foreign agencies, allegedly linked to terror groups.

Reportedly, Borah’s complaint is based on allegations levelled against Ajmal Foundation by an NGO called Legal Rights Observatory (LRO) that had put out some documents on Twitter.

It alleged that several Turkey and UK-based organisations have given Rs 69.55 crore to Ajmal Foundation, a philanthropic organisation, for education.

But, according to LRO, only around Rs 2 crore of the total amount was spent on educational purposes. LRO also alleged that these funding agencies had links with Islamic terror groups such as Al Qaeda, Hamas and Hizbul Mujahideen.

“Most of our foreign funds come from UK under strict compliance of FCRA regulations and are used in social, education and relief works. A false impression about our foundation is being created based on incorrect information. We want the thorough investigation, so that the truth is revealed,” Khasrul Islam, director of Ajmal Foundation.
