AIMIM expels Maharashtra MLC Mirza Rahmat Baig from party

The All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) has expelled Maharashtra Legislative Council member Mirza Rahmat Baig from the party, according to announcements made across the party's official social media handles on X and other platforms.

The expulsion was announced without advance notice, with no immediate statement from party leadership elaborating on the reasons for the action. The timing and manner of the announcement through digital channels marked an unusual move in party protocol.

Mirza Rahmat Baig, who represented the AIMIM in the upper house of Maharashtra's legislature, becomes the latest senior party member to face disciplinary action. The expulsion adds to recent organisational changes within the party, which has experienced shifts in its political positioning across multiple states.

The AIMIM, led by Asaduddin Owaisi, has been active in Maharashtra politics and holds representation across multiple state legislatures. The reasons behind the expulsion of Baig are expected to become clearer as party officials issue further clarifications in coming days.
