In a significant move just before the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, prominent Islamist leaders in Pune district, Maharashtra, have made a public appeal to the Muslim community. They are urging Muslims across Pune and neighboring constituencies—Shirur, Baramati, and Mawal—to cast their votes in favor of the candidates from Congress, NCP (Sharad Pawar), and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray). This call to action was issued during a well-attended event titled ‘Taqreer By Hazrat Maulana Sajjad Nomani’, which took place under the auspices of Kul Jamati Tanzeem Pune in the Kondwa region on May 2nd.
