evidence: New Delhi: AIMIM supremo Asaduddin Owaisi’s first rally in Kolkata’s minority-dominated Metiabruz area was cancelled after police denied permission. [...] Political parties in poll-bound West Bengal are apprehensive over AIMIM’s entry and prominent Muslim leaders in the state have claimed that political equations will witness significant changes. Owaisi announced AIMIM’s entry in West Bengal after the party’s good performance in the 2020 Bihar assembly poll. The party is also discussing a possible alliance with Furfura Sharif cleric Abbas Siddiqui, who had recently floated the Indian Secular Front (ISF).
