MBT offers to support MIM if Owaisi Brothers contest from Amberpet

Hyderabad, March 9 : The Majlis Bachao Tahreek (MBT) has announced that it would openly support and even work for its arch rival Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslameen if MIM President Asaduddin Owaisi or his younger brother Akbaruddin Owaisi accepts the challenge of State BJP President G Kishan Reddy for a contest from Amberpet Assembly constituency.

Addressing a massive public meeting at Sarfekhaz Phaltan under Malakpet Assembly Constituency on Saturday night, MBT Corporator Amjed Ullah Khan said that the MIM leadership should accept the challenge of the State BJP President and any one of Owaisi brothers should enter the fray. “We will not only extend support, but will also work hard to ensure the victory of MIM candidate against BJP President,” he said. However, he doubted the sincerity of Owaisi brothers and said that the MIM leadership was lowering the prestige of Muslim community by throwing avoidable challenges.

Amjed Ullah Khan (Corporator) pointed out that the MIM leadership made several provocative statements on with regard to Bhagya Laxmi Temple which indirectly damaged the image of Muslims. Similarly, they challenged BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi to come to Hyderabad. Although Modi came and addressed a public meeting in the city, the MIM leaders remained silent and did not even organize a single protest. Similarly, Asaduddin Owaisi challenged Modi to contest from Hyderabad seat. In response, Kishan Reddy challenged Asad Owaisi to contest from Amberpet. He said that instead of keeping quiet, Asad Owaisi should accept the challenge and defeat Kishan Reddy if he really cares for the prestige of Muslim community.

The MBT leader also ridiculed the “Best MLA” award given to Malakpet legislator Ahmed Bin Abdullah Balala by a private firm. Stating that there was no development worth mentioning in the last five years in Malakpet Assembly Constituency, Amjed Ullah Khan said that the firm which gave the award to MIM MLA was linked to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).

Amjed Ullah Khan said that the conditions in Malakpet Assembly Constituency have deteriorated in the last five years. Many Government Schools which were in private Buildings since last 50 years have vanished or they are in a bad condition with no proper toilets or classrooms. The parks and playgrounds in the said constituency have been encroached upon by the politically backed mafia, he alleged.

The MBT leader also ridiculed the claim of Asaduddin Owaisi of him being a national leader of Muslims. Out of nearly 14.70 lakhs votes in Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat, Asad Owaisi secured a little over 3.0 lakh votes to win 2009 elections. He said while Asad Owaisi has been claiming that the MIM helped the riot victims in Muzaffer Nagar (UP) and Assam, the MIM has completely ignored Moulana Naseeruddin and his family members against whom the Gujarat police had allegedly filed several fake cases.

Amjed Ullah Khan said the MIM leadership maintained a controversial stand even on Telangana issue. While openly opposing Telangana demand, they proposed united AP, Union Territory Status to Hyderabad and then Rayala Telangana from the Centre. He said that it was fortunate that other prominent Muslim organizations supported the Telangana demand. Else, the conditions for Muslims in the new State would have had been different. Commenting on the talks of alliance between the TRS and MIM, he said such a move would be called an “opportunistic alliance” and the TRS would lose the support of minorities, especially Muslims, if it decides to sail with the MIM.

The public meeting was presided over by MBT President Dr Khayam Khan and was addressed by other MBT leaders.   INN
