Resignation Letter to Mallikarjun Kharge
Mohammad Arif Naseem Khan has written to Mallikarjun Kharge, the national president of the party, expressing his desire to not be a celebrity campaigner during the state’s remaining Lok Sabha election rounds. After discovering that not a single Muslim received a ticket from the party or the MVA in Maharashtra, Khan made this choice.
Resignation and Statement
Congress politician Mohammed Arif Naseem Khan, a prominent party campaigner, resigns and says, “I will meet the party leadership and high command in person and tell them about it. Congress has had an ideology. Be it Lok Sabha elections, Vidhan Sabha elections or the formation of government, Congress has always had the policy to have representation from every caste and community.”
He added that, “MVA is contesting 48 seats in Maharashtra in these Lok Sabha elections and nobody from the minority community has been made a candidate for any of these seats. So, people of the community are hurt. So, people have been questioning me over the past two days that why did Congress not field even one…I am hurt too…What was the compulsion?…”
