I'm 'extremist' in protecting Indian, Assamese culture: Himanta Biswa Sarma

While speaking to media in Guwahati on February 14, Finance Minister of Assam and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Himanta Biswa Sarma spoke on Badruddin Ajmal.

On being asked about the Opposition calling him and AIUDF's Badruddin Ajmal, two extremes of polarisation politics, "I am happy if they have called me so.

I am an extremist in protecting Indian and Assamese culture.

If anyone has given me the title, convey my regards to them," Sarma further stated.
