AIMIM expelled Telangana Legislative Council MLC Mirza Rahmat Baig from the party with immediate effect on Saturday night and directed him to submit his resignation to the Chairman of the Legislative Council.
The party communicated the decision through an official social media post. It said the expulsion and resignation instructions were issued to Baig through Joint Secretary S.A. Hussain Anwar.
AIMIM has not publicly disclosed the reason for Baig’s expulsion. The party’s statement provided information about the expulsion and the direction to resign but did not mention any specific allegation, dispute or disciplinary action.
Mirza Rahmat Baig won the Telangana Legislative Council election from the Hyderabad Local Authorities constituency in 2023. He entered the Legislative Council as an AIMIM representative following the election.
Along with expelling Baig from the party, AIMIM directed him to submit his resignation to the Chairman of the Telangana Legislative Council with immediate effect.
The status of an elected MLC following expulsion from a political party is governed by the applicable constitutional, legal and procedural provisions. Baig’s position in the Legislative Council will therefore depend on the subsequent official process and his next steps.
AIMIM has not provided a detailed explanation for the action against Baig. The party’s communication did not identify any specific reason for his expulsion.
Further details on the matter will depend on statements from AIMIM, Mirza Rahmat Baig or the relevant constitutional authority.
Following AIMIM’s decision, attention is on Baig’s response and whether he submits his resignation from the Legislative Council.
If Baig resigns, the subsequent process concerning the Legislative Council seat from the Hyderabad Local Authorities constituency will be determined under the applicable election rules. If he does not resign, his membership status and political position following his expulsion from AIMIM will be subject to the relevant constitutional and legal process.
