Assam: Complaint Filed Against AIUDF Chief Over ‘Derogatory’ Remarks On Akhil Gogoi’s Wife

BONGAIGAON: A complaint has been filed against AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal by Momi Roy Choudhury, General Secretary of Jatiya Nari Bahini, the women’s organization of Raijor Dal, in Bongaigaon. The complaint is in response to Ajmal’s alleged derogatory remarks against Gitashree Tamuli, a professor and wife of Sivasagar MLA and Raijor Dal president Akhil Gogoi.

Speaking to the media, Ajmal made a remark that sparked severe criticism. He said, “Akhil Gogoi’s wife is old, so I have nothing to say in this regard. Well yes, if she had been young then, I would have commented on something. She is old, so what will I say?” Jatiya Nari Bahini has criticized this remark as unacceptable and derogatory.

Momi Roy Choudhury, in her attempt to address the issue, charged Ajmal with trying to reintroduce himself into Assam’s political scene when his political influence was on the decline. She claimed that his comeback was scripted by his political gurus and compared his approach to that of a “clever fox.” His words, she said, are carefully framed to keep him in the limelight and stay relevant in the political arena.

The row has heightened tensions between AIUDF and Raijor Dal, adding to political rivalries in Assam. Ajmal’s comments have evoked sharp criticism from all sides, with several demanding accountability for his use of derogatory terms.
