The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) held its first public meeting in north Bengal on Monday and sought to counter the narrative that the party was the B-team of the BJP.
Mohammad Majid Hossain, a former mayor of Hyderabad and the party’s observer for Bengal, addressed the meeting at the Hathkhola ground in Samsi near Ratua.
He accused other political parties, including the BJP, of betraying minority and Dalit voters. Hossain indicated that the AIMIM would contest in almost all Assembly seats in Malda, including Habibpur and Gazole where the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes decide the poll results.
