        B’deshi maulanas campaigned for AUDF: Wazed
By our Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Aug 24: Former Asom minister and Congress leader Wazed Ali Choudhury has today brought some serious allegations against the AUDF that it has been maintaining links with Islamic fundamentalists and extremists ever since its inception, and that some maulanas from Bangladesh came to Asom during the last Assembly polls without any visa and campaigned for the AUDF.
Talking to newsmen in the city today, Ali Choudhury, while ruling out his and his sibling Nausad Ali’s involvement in the arrest of Rashul Haq Bahadur, said: “The voters of South Salmara constituency are witness to Bangladeshi maulanas campaigning for the AUDF in Asom in the last Assembly elections. This apart, the AUDF has some secret agenda of which MLA Rashul Haq Bahadur’s recent demand for autonomy in three lower Asom districts is very much a part”. It may be mentioned here that the AUDF alleged that Wazed Ali and his brother Nausad Ali were behind the arrest of Rashul Haq Bahadur.
Ali further said that the once-banned Jamat-e-Islami, among others, is a constituent of the AUDF since its inception. “The Jamat-e-Islami doesn’t recognize the Constitution of India,” he said. 
According to the former minister, Rashul Haq Bahadur has been maintaining close ties with the Congress, and that the August 20 Dhubri chalo programme of the AUDF was a plan on the part of Haq Bahadur to weaken the newly-formed party. He claimed that the Dhubri chalo programme was a total flop show. “In fact, the AUDF has no policy and ideology of its own. If the AUDF announces today that it will not merge with the Congress, the party will disappear within three months,” he said.
