The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen expelled its Telangana MLC Mirza Rehmath Baig after a video sparked social media uproar, prompting the BJP to label the move unjust.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) announced the removal of its Member of Legislative Council, Mirza Rehmath Baig, following a controversy triggered by a video that went viral on social media platforms. Party officials said the footage raised serious questions about the legislator's conduct, leading to his expulsion as a disciplinary measure.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) responded to the decision, stating that the action was "not justice" and implying that due process had not been observed. Party spokespersons highlighted the need for fair treatment of elected representatives, even amid public pressure.
The episode adds to the ongoing political sensitivities in Telangana, where AIMIM holds significant influence. No further details about the content of the video or any legal proceedings have been released, and both parties await clarification from the concerned authorities.
