Majlis is busy for 64 years by serving the people continuously: Asaduddin Owaisi

Mubarakpur, UP: Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP said that unity is life and anarchy is death. Majlis and its leaders don't have hate in their thinking. Majlis wants to give strength to weakers and give rights to oppressed people. Majlis do not differentiate in the name of religion. If Hindu brothers face cruelty then Majlis will stand for them. 

2nd March is the happiest day for All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen. Because the revival of Majlis has been completed 64 years. Majlis has completed 64 years and achieved so many things, has never been in power despite that we serve in every department. 

Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi was addressing a huge election meeting in the favour of Mubarakpur assembly constituency Majlis candidate Janab Shah Alam alias Guddu Jamali. Large gathering including men and women attended the Jalsa and raised the slogan. In the election meeting they raises the slogans of Allahu Akbar, Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen Zindabad, Asaduddin Owaisi Zindabad.

Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM may be seen as a minnow but in Azamgarh's Mubarakpur seat it is being looked upon as a "serious contender", challenging the SP and the BSP which have been strong there over the years.

This has been a Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) bastion as the party has remained undefeated since 1996 with the Samajwadi Party (SP) coming in second on all occasions barring 2002 when the Lok Jan Shakti party was second best.

The All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has fielded Shah Alam alias 'Guddu Jamali', who has been an MLA from here for two straight terms albeit on a BSP ticket, while the SP's candidate is Akhilesh Yadav, a namesake of the party's chief, who has been coming second for the last two assembly



polls.

People of the constituency insist that it is not so much about the AIMIM but Alam being a very strong candidate has propelled AIMIM to being a "serious contender" to Mr Yadav and BSP's Abdul Salam.

Mr Alam rejects the notion that fighting from a new party in UP would hamper his chances, saying he has won twice and his symbol may be new but he has been winning from here and people know him well.

"The basis of my politics is development and I stay away from religion and caste based politics," he asserted.

"It doesn't matter whether AIMIM has won or not but I consider myself capable of winning. I have worked with full honesty and served people who will back me and AIMIM," Mr Alam told PTI.

Asked if there were any apprehensions that besides Muslims, other communities may be reluctant to vote for the AIMIM, Mr Alam said, "Hindu brothers would give me more votes than Muslims. 100 per cent, I am going to win this election."

Muslim voters are around 1,10,000 in Mubarakpur, while Dalit voters are around 78,000. There are around 65,000 Yadav voters, among the over 3,17,000 electorate here.

Muslims appear to be divided here with many backing Mr Alam for his resourcefulness and the help extended by him during the Covid pandemic.

The meeting were attended by Majlis candidate from Azamgarh Janab Qamar Kamal, Majlis candidate from Gopalpur Janab Abdulla, Majlis candidate from Nizamabad Janab Abdur Rahman, Majlis candidate from Medargunj Janab Javed Alam, Majlis candidate from Sigri Mr Pankaj Maurya, Jan Adhikari party candidate from Mohammadabad Mr.Mahendra Partap, Majlis UP president Shoukat Ali, Incharge Mohd.
