Assam bans jihadi literature to curb extremism

The Assam government has banned the publication and distribution of radical or jihadi literature, both physically and online.

This includes content linked to groups like Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), and Ansar-Al-Islam/pro-AQIS.

The ban is aimed at preventing extremist propaganda and protecting internal security.

The government has directed various law enforcement agencies to ensure strict enforcement of this ban.

The Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) has supported the move but emphasized the need for vigilant enforcement without communal profiling or political misuse.

The ban is part of the state's ongoing efforts to maintain peace and security.
