The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) on its 66th Youm-e-Tasees or Revival Day celebrated on March 2, reaffirmed its commitment to fighting the Bharatiya Janata Party and espousing the cause of Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis as well as other marginalised groups.
The party’s revival day marks the moment when the reins of the erstwhile Majlis were handed over to the Abdul Wahid Owaisi, a lawyer, who was current AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi’s grandfather. In his first speech as the president of a different manifestation of the Majlis, the lawyer spoke of improving socio-economic conditions of Muslims and invoked the Constitution of India.
Cut to 2024, in his speech at Darussalaam, barely a few weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the current AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi spoke of the party’s struggles to expand its base over the last six decades.
