The Shahi Imam arrived in Jalandhar and urged the state government to allocate three to four legislative assembly constituencies for the Muslim community.
The prominent religious figure, Shahi Imam, landed in Jalandhar on Thursday, drawing attention from local media and political observers. During his visit, he publicly demanded that the Punjab government reserve three to four seats in the state legislative assembly for the Muslim community, arguing that such representation would address longstanding grievances.
The Imam's demand comes at a time when political parties in Punjab are finalising candidate lists for the upcoming assembly elections. By seeking dedicated constituencies, he aims to secure a stronger voice for Muslims in the state's decision‑making process.
No official response from the state government or major parties has been recorded yet, but the call is expected to influence discussions on seat allocation and community representation as the election calendar approaches.
