The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has expelled its MLC Mirza Rehmath Baig from the party amid controversy over a viral video and allegations circulating on social media.
Baig, considered close to AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi, was removed from the party following allegations of “indiscipline. “The Muslims of Hyderabad want to know the reason behind suspending such a person at midnight. Why was he called back, why was his resignation taken and what was the reason for his suspension? “Expulsion from a political party does not amount to justice. The BJP further urged the Telangana government to ensure that there was no political interference in the investigation.
In February 2023, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi announced Mirza Rehmath Baig as the party’s candidate for the Hyderabad Local Authorities MLC seat. Baig was subsequently elected unopposed and became a Telangana Legislative Council member in 2023.
Asaduddin Owaisi must inform the public,” Singh said. State BJP chief spokesperson and media in-charge N V Subash said expelling Baig from the party could not replace a criminal investigation. When allegations involve offences against women and minors, the only acceptable response is a thorough, impartial and time-bound investigation,” Subash said.
