Claiming the detention of Assamese Muslims in the state’s camps due to exclusion from NRC, Imam is seen instigating Muslims to ‘use their anger productively’. Stating that this is the only way to make the Centre listen to them, he advised Muslims to do ‘chakka jaam’ to help Assam out of its turmoil.In the video, he says,”If we have 5 lakh organised people then we can permanently cut north-east from India or at least for one month. Put so much (unclear) on the road that they cannot even remove it for a month. It is our responsibility to isolate Assam from India, then only they will listen to us.”He added, “Do you know what is happening to Assamese Muslims? NRC is already applied there, they have been put in detention centers. We may come to know that in 6-8 months all Bengalis have been killed  – Hindu or Muslim. If we want to help Assam, then we will have to stop the way to Assam for the Indian Army and other supplies. The ‘Chicken Neck ‘ belongs to the Muslims.”
