Taking to Facebook, Sarma said, "Sukur Ali and Fazal Ali were arrested by Sonitpur police for anti-national activities yesterday (Tuesday). 58 people have been sent to jail so far in the Assam police campaign against Pakistan supporters. We have not pampered anti-national persons or circles in Assam till today, and our campaign will continue. No one will be exempt in this area. 58 Pak sympathisers are now BEHIND BARS. Nobody will be spared."
