In a tweet, AIMIM Karwan MLA Kauser Mohiuddin stated “I would like to announce that Abdul Raheem alias Mirchi Seth AIMIM President Gulbarga has been suspended from AIMIM party responsibilities/assignments with immediate effect. Any actions of his have no approval from AIMIM.”

The AIMIM, led by its national president and Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi, is also planning to field candidates in about 25 constituencies and is eyeing an electoral alliance with the Janata Dal (Secular) in the Assembly elections in Karnataka.

State unit chief Ghani earlier this month told PTI that said the AIMIM is in talks with the JD(S) headed by former prime minister H D Deve Gowda for an alliance but the latter is yet to respond to the offer. He said the party would contest in about 25 segments in the state.

Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government.
