After Jamaat supported AAP’s Wajid in MCD poll, its ‘affiliate’ body calls winner Cong’s Ariba for ice-breaking session
After supporting AAP’s Wajid Khan, who lost the in the MCD poll 2022 from Abul Fazal Enclave ward, Jamaat-e-Islami (Hind) affiliated body invited newly elected Councilor Ariba Khan for ice-breaking session in the conference hall of MMI Publishers on Wednesday.
JIH support had come for AAP at a time when across Muslim-dominated wards of Delhi there was resentment against the party for the way it “targeted” Tablighi Jamaat members during Covid, its silence over Bilkis Bano and Delhi riots, said one Okhla watcher on the condition of anonymity. In Okhla, the AAP could manage to win only one seat out of five.
