Assam: Badruddin Ajmal's fiery response to 'claps' sparks debate in Dhubri

All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal made headlines after strongly rebuking attendees at a public event in Dhubri who clapped sarcastically during his speech. 

Ajmal, visibly annoyed by the perceived disrespect, used the term "oi shala" to call out the detractors.

The incident unfolded during a gathering in Dhubri, a constituency considered a stronghold for Ajmal, where he was addressing local concerns and rallying support ahead of the upcoming elections.

While his outburst has sparked mixed reactions online, it has also brought attention to the dynamics of public discourse in political events.

Supporters lauded Ajmal’s candour and firmness in addressing what they viewed as disruptive behaviour, while critics questioned his choice of language and handling of dissent in a public forum.

Dhubri remains a significant political base for Ajmal, who has been striving to consolidate his support in the region. This incident is likely to fuel further debates as the state gears up for a critical election season.
