All India Jamaat-E-Salmani Community extends unconditional nationwide support to NCP (Ajit Pawar)
Pune, 10th October 2024: The All India Jamaat-E-Salmani community has announced its unconditional support for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) faction led by Ajit Pawar ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections, stated NCP Youth Wing national president Dheeraj Sharma in Pune.
The meeting of the All India Jamaat-E-Salmani community was held at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Cultural Hall on Ghole Road. Along with Sharma, prominent attendees included Deepak Mankar, President of Pune NCP, AIJSS National President Advocate Zarif Ahmed Salmani, and other dignitaries.
“NCP is growing stronger as the Banjara community, the working class, and minority groups, including the Salmani community, are rallying behind Ajit Pawar,” Sharma said. Pawar has aligned with the Mahayuti (BJP & Shiv Sena) on key development issues. The Mahayuti government’s various initiatives, including the Ladki Behen scheme, are gaining popularity among the people of Maharashtra. Therefore, the current political atmosphere being created will not impact the Mahayuti. A similar situation arose in Haryana, yet the BJP secured a majority there. We are confident that the Mahayuti will achieve significant success in the upcoming assembly elections,” he mentioned.
NCP city unit president Deepak Mankar emphasized that the Ajit Pawar-led NCP would work inclusively, bringing together people of all castes and religions. “Ajit Pawar has always respected minority communities, such as Dalits, Muslims, Adivasis, and the underprivileged. We aim to reserve 10 percent of the seats for minorities in the upcoming assembly elections. The NCP is committed to addressing the issues of the Salmani community soon,” Mankar added.
Advocate Zarif Ahmed Salmani stated that the Salmani community is present in around 73 constituencies in Maharashtra. “Ajit Pawar’s leadership is focused on development and will benefit all communities. Therefore, the Salmani community will extend full support to the NCP in the upcoming assembly elections. If given the opportunity, we are ready to contest a seat,” he added.
