AIMMM Releases List of Endorsed Candidates in Muslim Concentration Constituencies for Phase III of General Election on
5 May, 2004
Reiterates its General Line of Support to INC
New Delhi, 19 April, 2004: Shri Syed Shahabuddin, President of the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat
(AIMMM), in consultation with other affiliated Jamaats, has issued the following Statement
:
"The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM) has noted that of the 83 Lok Sabha Constituencies going to poll on 5 May, 2004, 16 are Muslim concentration Constituencies i.e. around 20% or more Muslims in the electorate.
The AIMMM reiterates its appeal to the secular electorate generally to vote massively and unitedly for the candidate endorsed by the Indian National Congress and parties associated with it, rising above religious or caste or linguistic or cultural considerations against the candidates who form part of the BJP cluster.
In respect of the identified Muslim concentration constituencies, the AIMMM reminds the Muslim electorate of its special responsibility and advises it to ensure that every vote is cast and for the same candidate in the following constituencies:
