Furfura Sharif is an important centre for Muslims in WB
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday met the custodian family of Furfura Sharif, an important Muslim place of worship in Hooghly district of West Bengal, and announced that his party flag would flutter from there ahead of the Assembly polls in that State.
The move comes barely a few weeks after the AIMIM won 44 seats in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).
