Breaking News: Asaduddin Owaisi to Field Another Delhi Riot Accused in the Elections

In a controversial move ahead of the 2025 Delhi Assembly Elections, All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), led by Asaduddin Owaisi, is preparing to grant a ticket to another accused in the 2020 Delhi riots. The party is set to field Shafaur Rahman Khan, the former president of the Jamia Alumni Association, from the Okhla constituency. Khan, who has been incarcerated on charges related to the Delhi riots, is currently in jail.This decision has sparked widespread debate, as it brings attention to the party’s stance on the Delhi riots and its choice of candidates for the upcoming elections. Critics argue that granting a ticket to an accused in such a high-profile case may stir further political and social tensions in the city. AIMIM, however, maintains that Khan’s political rights should be upheld and that he is innocent until proven guilty. The move is expected to add a layer of controversy to the already intense political atmosphere in Delhi ahead of the elections.
