With an eye on the 2023 Rajasthan Assembly elections, the Hyderabad-based All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) launched a unit here on Tuesday. The party announced the appointment of a six-member core committee ahead of the formation of a full-fledged State body by July-end.
The committee will be headed by Jamil Khan, owner of a chain of private schools, who hails from Jeoli village in Sikar district’s Laxmangarh tehsil. Mr. Khan belongs to an influential family of the region and his grandfather, the late Col. (retd.) Jabodi Khan, had contested the Assembly election against former Home Minister Mathura Das Mathur from Nagaur district’s Deedwana constituency in 1977.
Incidentally, Laxmangarh is the Assembly constituency represented by Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Govind Singh Dotasra. Another member of the AIMIM’s core committee, Javed Ali, a lawyer, also hails from Khinwasar village situated in Laxmangarh tehsil.
