Asaduddin Owaisi and Imran Masood address political roles in Uttar Pradesh

AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi stated in Lucknow that Muslims should not be treated merely as a vote bank but should instead receive their rightful political identity and rights. Referencing the political situation in Bihar, Owaisi noted that his party would announce any future alliances when the time comes and emphasized that AIMIM does not intend to compromise its position. Owaisi also criticized the appointment of Imran Masood as the newly appointed Executive President of the Uttar Pradesh Congress.

Imran Masood, the Member of Parliament from Saharanpur, expressed his commitment to upholding the trust placed in him by the Congress leadership following his appointment. Masood stated that the interests of the party remain his top priority and that he would work tirelessly to implement leadership decisions. His appointment comes ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, a period during which seat-sharing negotiations between the Congress and the Samajwadi Party are expected to take place.
