The incident happened when Ajmal was talking to reporters after a function. The journalist from a local TV news channel questioned Ajmal about AIUDF's alliance plans for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. He refused a direct reply and said, "We are with Mahagathbandhan (opposition) in Delhi."
The journalist then persisted and asked whether AIUDF would change its position after the polls depending on which party won. To this, Ajmal lost his temper and said, "How many crore will you give? (abuse)... Is it journalism? People like you are demeaning journalism. This man is against us from earlier on."
Ajmal then rained more abuses, snatched the mike of another journalist and tried to hit the scribe who had asked the question. "He is asking for how much money will I be sold to BJP? His father will be sold. Go from here or else I will break your head. Go and file a case against me...(abuse)... I have my men in court...you will be finished. You have done this earlier also," the leader said.
