Ahead of the BMC elections 2026, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Waris Pathan on Thursday invoked constitutional principles while speaking on political representation, asserting that the Constitution guarantees equality to all citizens.
“The Constitution talks about equality, and we are people who respect the Constitution. I would ask why a Pathan, Khan, Ansari, Sheikh, or Qureshi cannot become a mayor. The Constitution ensures equality for everyone. One day, even a woman who wears a hijab could become the Mayor of Mumbai, and God willing, that day will come,” Pathan said.
