Overview
- AIMIM announced on Friday that it has expelled Mirza Rahmath Baig with immediate effect and directed him to submit his resignation to the Chairman of the Telangana Legislative Council.
- The decision was issued in an official release attributed to Joint Secretary S.A. Hussain Anwar and was posted on the party’s social media accounts, including X.
- The party statement gave no detailed reason for the expulsion; one regional outlet linked the move to an alleged video leak and The Hindu reported unnamed insiders saying Baig was found in a state of indiscipline.
- Baig was elected to the Telangana Legislative Council from the Hyderabad Local Authorities constituency in 2023, so his resignation would trigger council procedures to fill the seat.
- Coverage differs on motive: Telangana Today reports the alleged video-leak link while other outlets cite unnamed party insiders, and reporters note that AIMIM has not publicly substantiated either account.
