Secular parties in U.P. did not speak for Muslims, says Akbaruddin Owaisi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi on Wednesday claimed that none of the secular parties in Uttar Pradesh spoke about Muslims and that the community found no place in party manifestos.

Mr Owaisi was speaking at a public meeting on the occasion of the AIMIM’s 64th Revival Day at party headquarters in Darussalaam.

The AIMIM floor leader said that all parties, including secular parties, want votes of Muslims. However, issues of Muslims are absent in manifestos. He also said that political parties in U.P. and their leaders did not speak about the “India’s largest minority community.”
