Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday claimed that his party had proved its secular credentials by nominating many non-Muslim candidates in the upcoming elections.
Addressing party workers after inaugurating MIM's election office at Ishrat Mahal near Moghalpura, Owaisi said that the claims of all political parties of being secular looked hollow as they displayed their communal approach in allocation of tickets. However, the MIM had proved its secularism by giving party tickets to candidates belonging to all sections of the society.
The MIM chief asked the party cadre to be vigilant and active throughout the campaign and not take the elections lightly due to absence of any strong opponent.
He said that an awareness should be created among people to increase the polling percentage. He also advised the MIM legislators to stay in touch with the local leaders and cadre to ensure victory in the ensuing elections.
Owaisi said that the MIM had always believed in performance and not promises. Therefore, through hard work and service to the people, the MIM hoped to win the elections, he said.
MIM MLAs Akbaruddin Owaisi, Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri, Mohammad Maozam Khan, Mumtaz Ahmed Khan and other senior leaders were also present. (INN)
