Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: After Union minister Amit Shah targeted the AIMIM, describing it as “new Nizams”, the Hyderabad-headquartered party’s Lok Sabha member Imtiaz Jaleel hit back, saying people now know who behaves like Nizams.

Talking to reporters here, Jaleel also targeted the BJP-led central government, saying that although several years have passed since the abrogation of Article 370, assembly elections have not been held in Jammu and Kashmir so far.

Shah on Tuesday addressed a rally here, in which apparently took a swipe at the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), saying, “The entire Marathwada region was under the Nizam rule. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel liberated Marathwada from Nizam, and now it is time to liberate Sambhajinagar from the new Nizams.”

Talking to reporters soon after Shah’s remarks, Jaleel said, ‘People know who is behaving like Nizam now. Razakars tried to weaken and break the country in their times. Now, people know very well who is doing this.’ ‘Nizams are now gone…I belong to this soil,’ he added.
