Assaduddin Owaisi visits Bengal, discusses assembly polls with influential Muslim cleric
AIMIM supremo Assaduddin Owaisi on Sunday arrived at Futura Sharif in Bengalâs Hooghly district and held discussions on the stateâs political scenario and upcoming assembly polls with prominent Muslim leader Abbas Siddiqui, sources in his party said.
This is Owaisiâs first visit to West Bengal following his announcement to contest elections in the state.
âOwaisi wanted to keep the meeting a secret as we were apprehensive that the TMC government would stop him from exiting the airport. From Kolkata airport, he went straight to Hooghly to meet Abbas Siddiqui. He will leave for Hyderabad in the afternoon,â AIMIM state secretary Zameerul Hassan said.
