Patna: Shameem Ahmad, the president of Inqlabi Muslim Federation supported AUDF of Maulana Badruddin Ajmal and termed it as a ray of hope against selfish leaders and extremists.
“We had been saying that the major problems of Muslims at national level and particularly Muslims of Bihar is unemployment and insecurity. The organizations claiming to be well wishers of Muslim should know that approximately 25 lakhs Muslims and Dalits are doing jobs in Assam and other states of north-east and this figure goes above one crore in West Bengal” said Shameem Ahmad Hajipuri, the president of Inqlabi Muslim Federation.
He further said that despite performing every kind of sacrifice for the freedom of India Muslims and Dalits have always been discriminated by the ruling class. Muslims population in Assam is 40% and in West Bengal 35% while combine population of Muslims and other Dalits in Bihar is 50% still they have been kept away from governance by communal forces and self-fish politicians.
Mr. Shameem also said: “West Bengal and Assam Muslims rejected the resolution of partition of India and they liked to live here instead of going Pakistan but unfortunately they have been tortured by calling them Pakistanis and Bangladeshsi by all governments that came in power after independence.”
“In such circumstances Maulana Badruddin Ajmal came in the field and made history by winning 10 assembly seats. The most important thing he gave to Muslims is self-confidence to live in this country with dignity” he said adding “Muslims of Bihar should be thankful to Maulana Badruddin Ajmal who decided to bring them out of their inhibitions for seeking their constitutional rights.”
He appealed to all Muslims to vote for the candidates of Assam United Democratic Front (AUDF) and said that it is a ray of hope to come over unemployment and insecurity.
He also expressed his happiness for selecting Mr. Kashif Yonus, the grandson of first Bihar chief minister Md. Yonus, as a coordinator of Bihar AUDF.
Talking to TwoCircles.net Mr. Kashif Younus said that AUDF will put its 5 to 6 candidates in Muslim dominated area such as Madhubani, Champarun, Araria, Bhagalpur and Batia. But he also explained that list of the candidates has been sent to President Maulana Badruddin Ajmal and it will be confirmed within days.

By Abdul Hameed, TwoCircles.net,
Mumbai: Maharashtra AUDF is all set to contest general elections at least in 7 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state.
Dr. Azimuddin, secretary general of Maharashtra AUDF disclosed in a press statement, ‘The party has already fielded two candidates Mr. Yunus Manyar and Mrs. Mamta Vinayakrao Khandelkar from Yavatmal-Washim and Amravati (SC) Lok Sabha constituencies respectively which go for polling in the first phase on 16th April. We intend to nominate three more candidates in Pune, Thane and Mumbai north-central whose name will be declared after the nomination is filed.’
He added Maharashtra AUDF wanted to field its candidates in Akola and Buldhana constituencies too but due to some technical problems at the time of form submission it could not do so. ‘However, Mr. Mujahid Khan, alias Mazhar Khan and Bilal Seth who now have filed their nominations as independent candidates from Akola and Buldhana respectively will enjoy full support by Maharashtra AUDF.’
Farooq Mithaiwala, vice president of Maharashtra AUDF told, ‘The two actually would have been the party’s official candidates if we were allowed by the election commission to do so.’
The Western Maharashtra in-charge of the party Imtiyaz Peerzada said that the party is putting its candidates only in the constituencies where it thinks they are in a fighting position.
‘The party received nearly 50 applications from various constituencies out of which only 7 have been granted by the party president Badruddin Ajmal,’ stated Tarun Rathi, Mumbai president of Maharashtra AUDF.
“The AUDF is a political amalgamation of different socio-religious and educational organizations of all the Muslim denominations and other religions in Maharashtra. Dalit, OBCs and all those socially or politically oppressed or discriminated are the integral part of Maharashtra AUDF under the leadership of Maulana Badruddin Ajmal”, told Dr. Azimuddin.
AUDF has so far nominated candidates in Assam, West Bengal and Maharashtra. The party may nominate a few more candidates in Bihar, Jharkhand and UP in next few days with Lock & Keys as party’s election symbol read the press release issued by Maharashtra AUDF.
