Mumbai: Jolted with the derecognition of the party by the Maharashtra Election Commission (EC), All India Majlis-e- Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has decided to appeal against the decision and is also exploring all legal options available to it to challenge the cancellation by EC before a court of law.
“Since the EC has now cancelled our registration, we will go in for an appeal before them, the moment we get a letter from the Election Commission,” said Aurangabad MLA Imtiaz Jaleel.
Jaleel said that in response to the notice, a team of the MIM leaders from Hyderabad had visited the SEC office in Mumbai and had completed all the formalities required, including submission of IT returns of the party.
Meanwhile, party’s western Maharashtra chief Anjum Inamdar has appealed to its workers and supporters to not get upset and gear up for the upcoming local body elections.
“We will soon go to Mumbai and check how we can set everything right so that we can contest Mumbai civic polls next year. We will also meet our lawyers there to find out legal recourse for challenging EC’s decision”, Inamdar told TwoCircles.net.
