In a pivotal move ahead of the West Bengal Assembly polls, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), led by Asaduddin Owaisi, has officially cut ties with the party of Humayun Kabir. The AIMIM cited serious concerns regarding statements made by Kabir that questioned the integrity of Muslims, leading to their decision to terminate the alliance immediately. The party emphasized that it cannot associate with any remarks that undermine the Muslim community's integrity. AIMIM reiterated its commitment to advocating for marginalized groups, particularly the socio-economically disadvantaged Muslims in West Bengal, who they claim remain neglected despite years of governance by secular parties like the All India Trinamool Congress. The AIMIM will contest the upcoming elections independently, aiming to provide a political voice for these communities. The elections for the 294-member Assembly are set for April 23 and April 29, with the counting of votes scheduled for May 4.
