AIM's Asad Abdullah Holds Chandausi Meet, Calls For Membership Drive

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIM) district president Asad Abdullah held a meeting with party workers in Chandausi to discuss preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections and called for a membership campaign.

The meeting was held late Monday night at the residence of Riyaz Ahmad, the AIMIM Chandausi city president and councillor, in Golaganj. Asad Abdullah discussed the party’s election preparations with the workers and urged them to start working towards the Assembly polls.

Addressing the workers, Asad Abdullah said, “All the parties that came into politics used Muslims only as a vote bank. We now need our own leadership.” He also referred to the Sachar Committee report and said it had described the condition of Muslims as becoming worse.

He said, “The Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, Congress and all the other parties used Muslims only as a vote bank and did not give them a share anywhere.”

Asad Abdullah further said that when Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi spoke about the rights of Muslims, these parties repeatedly described Owaisi as the BJP’s B team. He added, “In reality, they themselves are the BJP’s B team.”

The AIMIM district president instructed the workers to begin preparations for the elections. He said that if the party’s representatives reach the Assembly, they will speak about the rights of Dalits and backward classes.

He also stressed the need to strengthen the membership campaign. The workers were instructed to take the party’s policies to people across the area and increase public awareness about them.

Riyaz Ahmad, Waris Qureshi, Mohammad Basit, Khwaja Abbasi, Asif Malik, Mohammad Owais, Naman, Mohammad Anees, Mohammad Adnan, Waris Ali and Shahid were among those present at the meeting. A large number of workers also attended the programme.
