New Delhi, December 11, 2024: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has sharply criticized the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) for fielding Tahir Hussain as a candidate in the upcoming Delhi elections. BJP leaders have accused AIMIM of attempting to “polarize” the political atmosphere in the capital by giving a platform to a controversial figure linked to the 2020 Delhi riots. Hussain’s involvement in the riots has significantly tarnished his public image, and the BJP argues that his nomination could deepen communal divides in an already sensitive environment.
The BJP condemned AIMIM’s decision, claiming it is part of a broader strategy to sow division among communities for political gain. Party officials emphasized that such actions undermine efforts to foster harmony and progress in Delhi, especially in a crucial election year. BJP leaders argued that promoting figures with controversial histories could escalate tensions and distract from meaningful discussions on governance and development.
This political development has further intensified the election rhetoric, with the BJP urging voters to reject divisive politics and focus on building a peaceful, prosperous future for Delhi. The BJP’s stance highlights the ongoing communal sensitivities in the region, with the upcoming elections expected to be closely contested.
