AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi celebrated the electoral victory of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, USA. El-Sayed, a Democrat, defeated Republican Mike Rogers by over 1.27 lakh votes. Owaisi connected this win to Indian politics, urging Muslims in Uttar Pradesh to strengthen their political identity. He stated that the term 'Abdul,' often used derisively, should be reclaimed to signify pride and independence, asserting they will no longer 'lay carpets.' This statement is seen as a call to action for the Muslim community ahead of upcoming elections.
