Hatsingimari, December 26: All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) Chief Badruddin Ajmal in Hatsingimari, Assam on Wednesday threatened to smash the head of a journalist who asked him if he'll ally with Congress or BJP in future. Maulana Ajmal said, “Go dogs, for how much money have you been bought by BJP? Go away, I will smash your head. Go register a case against me.” The video of the incident went viral on social media.

According to reports, Ajmal lost his cool following a question of ETV Bharat’s reporter about the possible alliance of the AIUDF in the coming Lok Sabha elections. He even snatched the boom of the reporter and also threw way mikes of other news channels. Assam: Woman Alleges Rape by AIUDF MLA Nizam Uddin Choudhury, Legislator Terms Allegation as False.
