Senior Congress leaders in the city have come together to ensure justice for Muslims, who have been denied candidature from the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The development took place on Saturday after an aspirant from Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha constituency, Arif Naseem Khan, spoke his heart out, saying that he had quit as the party`s star campaigner because he had no explanation to offer to his community for the denial.
City Congress president Varsha Gaikwad was preferred over Khan and other contenders. The community’s members, traditional sympathisers of the Congress, were upset as MVA had not fielded a single Muslim candidate, Khan said on Saturday, denying rumours of leaving the party. Khan`s sentiments have found support in his party colleagues.
