MUMBAI: Discontent has erupted in the Maharashtra Congress. Senior Maharashtra Congress leader Muhammad Arif Naseem Khan has decided not to campaign for the party. He resigned from the party’s campaign committee in the midst of the Lok Sabha elections. He wrote a letter to AICC president Mallikarjuna Kharge giving his decision and the reason for it. He also expressed displeasure over not giving tickets to any Muslim leader in the state.
Not a single Muslim candidate has been given a ticket
Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), the Congress alliance, has not fielded any minority candidate. Of the total 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra, not a single Muslim candidate has been given a ticket. So, he wrote to Congress chief Mallikarjuna Kharge that he will not campaign for the elections.
I don’t have an answer to people’s questions
In the letter, he questioned why there is no candidate from the minority community this time. If I go to people to canvass for votes, I don’t have answers to the questions they ask. When it comes to campaigning, party leaders and workers are asking themselves, “Congress ko Muslim mata chahiye, kandida kyuam nahi (Congress needs Muslim votes, but what about candidates)?” So the Congress leader said that he has decided not to campaign for the third, fourth and fifth phase of the elections.
