Kalaburgi, March 13: With the formal setting up of its office in Kalaburagi on Saturday, Hyderabad-based political party All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen is set to field its candidates in future elections from the city by wooing the minority electorate.
The party's firebrand leader and MP Asaduddin Owaisi, seems to be keen on establishing a base outside Hyderabad, particularly in the Muslim-dominated areas of Karnataka like Kalaburagi. Owaisi told reporters after inaugurating the party office at the Zeenith Tower, Muslim Chowk, that Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh, which did not allow him to hold public meetings, were scared of him. “If I speak against the Constitution of India, the state has every right to arrest me.
Let the general elections come in 2018 and they cannot restrict me as the elections will be held under the supervision of the Election Commission. We will then show our strength,'' Owaisi said.
He said efforts will be made to strengthen the Majlis in Kalaburagi by uniting Muslims, backwards and dalits. Refusing to comment on Muslim leaders of Kalaburagi, Owaisi made it clear that in all future elections, AIMIM candidates will contest.
Criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not showing commitment to the Constitution, the controversial MP alleged that Modi takes shelter under silence whenever controversial issues pertaining to Muslims, Constitution, nationalism and others crop up. He claimed that the Ayush department of the Union government has decided not to recruit Muslims as trainees. “Muslims and dalits are an integral part of India. Government decisions and actions should be in tune with the Constitutional spirit,'' Owaisi said. Advocate Wahaj Baba and former zilla panchayat member Gurushant Pattedar were present.
A?large number of people had gathered braving the scorching heat while they had waited on the roads and rooftops to have a glimpse of Owaisi. When he arrived two hours behind schedule around 2 pm, they cheered. Owaisi later addressed a gathering at KNZ Function Hall.

Dear Owaisi Sb, Please concentrate on Telangana and Hyderabad first. How many councilors in GHMC ? Don't try to split muslim votes. We already have parties like WPI,PFI for minorities, no need more. You speak well but action is nil. Good example. GHMC and Telangana.
BJP's masterplan to unite muslims by targeting on Islam. United muslims will keep faith on Owaisi and will vote for him.
Indirectly it will help BJP to get majority in all over India.
I always believed that Owaisi is hired by BJP to divide muslims vote for BJP's gain.
Recently we have noticed some BJP MLA s targeting on Islam. Reason behind this to unite muslims and vote for our men.
Obviously people will go for Owaisi.
RSS planning to bring brown trousers because Indian police use the same uniform. During the election time it will be easier for RSS to enter vote booth on the base policemen and can play their game.
Good move asad bhai keep it up insha allah we are with you jai bheem jai meem
The mind set of common muslim man is looking for a third party who can atleast listn t their problems and talk about their problems.
Congress is betrayed them working as a B team of RSS.
so naturaly they are attracted leaders like Owaisi.
owaisi can talk but can't do anything for Muslims.
A sincere suggestion to Owaisi, is concentrate on Andhra and Telangana, wasting his sources and time in dividing the votes within the Muslim community that will benefit Suffrons/BJP.
It is very much surprising, he foots in various parts of India and the question is from where he is funded for this party.
