Delhi Elections 2024: After Tahir Hussain, another accused in Delhi riots, Shahrukh Pathan, has also been fielded. Asaduddin Owaisi’s party AIMIM (All India Majlis-e-Ithadul Muslimeen) did not confirm but hinted. There is discussion that Shahrukh Pathan can be fielded from Seelampur seat. It is noteworthy that assembly elections can be held in Delhi in the month of February and Owaisi’s party can contest elections on about 10 seats.
Will Delhi riots accused contest elections?
This debate started when AIMIM state president Shoaib Jamai visited the house of Delhi riots poster boy Shahrukh Pathan and met his family. Shahrukh was seen waving weapons during the Delhi riots. He pointed the pistol at a policeman. Shahrukh is currently in jail. Before Shahrukh, Owaisi’s party has given ticket to Tahir Hussain, one of the main accused in the riots.
Two days ago, Shoaib Jamai met Shahrukh Pathan’s mother and shared a picture on X. He wrote, ‘A few days ago Shahrukh had gone to Pathan’s house to meet his mother. An AIMIM delegation met his family and discussed their situation and legal assistance. Our small step in the campaign for justice in Delhi will bring solace to many families whose children have been in jail for years without trial. According to the Supreme Court, bail is the right of those prisoners who are pending for a long time. His mother says that the case was registered against her son only on the instructions of Arvind Kejriwal and she cannot forget this now.
High command will take a decision
Talking to the media, the son-in-law said that the final decision regarding the ticket is taken by the high command. As state president, I have fulfilled my responsibility. Without denying that he has got the ticket, Shahrukh said that no decision has been taken on this yet. But, there is a need for a strong candidate from Seelampur as AAP and Congress leaders have switched parties. Whoever MIMIM will give ticket from Seelampur, it will give it to a strong candidate.
