"From 1939, Hamid Khan became the vanguard of a radicalized organization called the Muslim League whose main objective was the attainment of Pakistan and the forcible inclusion of Assam into it. In the actions of Maulana of Bhasani, the people of Assam for the first time witnessed such polarizing politics in the name of God: Not only do I kick at the law by means of which the houses of the lakhs of people have been burnt down, I declare Jehad in the name of Allah. It is not possible for the minority Mussalmans of Assam to end this oppression. It is not possible to solve this problem without resorting to Jehad for the sake of Allah. … [T]he whole world is docile before the Mighty and killer of the weak … the days have come now to get your demands fulfilled by becoming Swahids in the path of Allah. Everything depends on your unity and organisation. (italics in original)"
