First-Ever Lack of Muslim Representation in Maharashtra Legislative Council

For the first time in its 87-year history, the Maharashtra Legislative Council will have no Muslim representatives.

The terms of the two current Muslim councillors are expiring, and no Muslim candidates have been fielded for the upcoming elections in India.

This lack of representation has raised concerns among Muslim leaders and communities, who are demanding adequate representation in the next elections in India.

The exclusion of Muslims from the Legislative Council may push the community towards parties like AIMIM. It has sparked fears of political alienation and polarization in India.
