ABOUT :-
ALL INDIA MAJLIS-E-ITTEHADUL MUSLIMEEN (AIMIM) has its roots in the efforts of the Muslims of Deccan, in the late 1920s, who had come together to unite the community on a common platform. The organization, initially known as Ittehad Bainal Muslimeen, was founded at a meeting of prominent Muslims, including Ulema-e-Mashaeqeen, hosted by Nawab Mahmood Khan Qiledar on 12th November 1927 at
Hyderabad. OUR VISION :-
AIMIM is a political party dedicated to protect and promote the rights of Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis, Other Backward Classes, Other Minorities and all other underprivileged communities in India. It bears true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India. The party strongly believes in the nation’s secular democracy and strives to protect and enhance its quality by effective representation from local municipal councils to the Parliament. OUR PARTY :-
AIMIM’S History
In 1938, Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung was elected as president of MIM, which had the objective of working for protection of the socio-cultural and religious ethos of Muslim community. He emerged as the tallest leader of the community and was conferred the title of Qaid-e-Millat. His dedication, sincerity and oratorial and leadership skills made the MIM reach new heights within a short time. He served the MIM till his untimely demise in 1944. After the turbulent days of Military Acton, euphemistically known as Police Action, that hastened the accession of erstwhile Hyderabad State (Nizam’s Dominions) to the Indian Union on 17th September 1948, the MIM ceased to exist. There was widespread sense of fear and despair among Muslims who had witnessed the massacres and lootings in the wake of Police Action. Pandit Sundarlal Committee, appointed by then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, documented the atrocities (killings, rapes, arson and looting) unleashed on the Muslims of erstwhile Nizam State during and after the Police Action. In the decade that followed, the Hyderabad State (which was one of the largest States of the Indian Union) was trifurcated on linguistic basis, on 1st November 1956, with Telugu-speaking areas (Telangana) merged with Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh, Marathi-speaking areas (Marathwada) tagged on to then Bombay State and Kannada-speaking areas (Hyderabad-Karnatak) added to then Mysore State. AIMIM party presidents and floor leaders
Fakhr-e-Millat Maulvi Abdul Wahed Owaisi steered the party for 18 years (1958-1975) till his demise. Soon after, Salar-e-Millat Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi assumed the mantle of AIMIM president and held the post for an uninterrupted 34 years (from 1975-2008).After Salar-e-Millat passed away in September 2008, Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi took over the reins of AIMIM as its President. He has been conferred the title of Naqeeb-e-Millat by the community. Salar-e-Millat Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi served as AIMIM floor Leader in the Assembly for a record 23 years (1962-1984). Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi was AIMIM floor leader in Assembly for 10 years, from 1994 to 2004. Habeeb-e-Millat Akbar Uddin Owaisi is the Floor Leader of AIMIM in the Assembly for the last 10 years since 2004. Participation in electoral politics
AIMIM made its electoral debut in 1959 when it contested and won two municipal by-elections in the City of Hyderabad. AIMIM contested the polls to Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad in 1960 and won 24 divisions to emerge as the main opposition party. Salar-e-Millat Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi was elected from Mallepally division in the City. In 1964, the party won 18 divisions and retained its position as the main opposition party in the MCH. AIMIM entered the Assembly poll fray in 1962 and scored its maiden victory when Salar-e-Millat Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi was elected from Pathergatti constituency in Hyderabad, by trouncing his main rival Mrs Masooma Begun, who was a Cabinet minister in the then Congress Ministry headed by Damodaram Sanjivayya. AIMIM bagged three Assembly seats in 1967 and continued its winning spree ever since. AIMIM’s electoral performance has been truly spectacular in the last 55 years. AIMIM made its debut in Parliament when Salar-e-Millat Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi was elected to the Lok Sabha from Hyderabad Constituency in 1984. The Party has retained Hyderabad seat ever since by scoring huge majorities. AIMIM in state legislature
AIMIM increased its tally to three seats in the 1967 Assembly polls. Salar-e-Millat Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi, contesting from Charminar constituency, defeated Congress candidate Mir Ahmed Ali Khan, sitting MLA from Malakpet and Home Minister in Kasu Brahmamanda Reddy’s cabinet who had shifted from his home constituency to unsuccessfully take on Salar-e-Millat. Again, AIMIM won three seats each in 1972 and 1978 elections, five seats in 1983, four seats each in 1985 and 1989, one seat in 1994, four seats in 1999, five seats in 2004 and seven seats each in 2009 and 2014 elections.

The polls during 1962-2014 were held in united AP and Telangana State came into being on 2nd June 2014. AIMIM MLAs elected in 2014 are members of Telangana Legislative Assembly now. AIMIM made its foray into the State Legislative Council with the election of its first MLC from Assembly in 2007. The Party got another MLC elected from Hyderabad Local Authorities Constituency in 2010. Both Members were re-elected in 2011 for a six-year term. AIMIM in Lok Sabha
AIMIM has won Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat uninterruptedly for nine times in the last 30 years (1984-2014) with Salar-e-Millat winning the seat six times (in 1984, 1989, 1991, 1996, 1998 and 1999 polls) and Naqeeb-e-Millat Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi bagging the seat three times (in 2004, 2009 and 2014). While Salar-e-Millat had trounced his BJP/Telugu Desam rivals, including M Venkaiah Naidu, with huge majorities, Naqeeb- a-Millat also scored spectacular victories over his BJP/TDP rivals. AIMIM in Maharashtra and Karnataka
AIMIM made its entry in Maharashtra civic polls in October 2012 and scored an impressive victory in Nanded city municipal council by winning 11 divisions.

AIMIM contested the Assembly elections in Maharashtra for the first time in 1999 when it contested one seat. A decade later, in 2009, AIMIM contested two seats (Nanded North and Latur City) unsuccessfully. AIMIM entered the Assembly poll arena in Maharashtra for the third time but on a larger scale in 2014. Two AIMIM nominees emerged victorious– from Byculla constituency in Mumbai city and Aurangabad Central constituency in Marathwada region. Three AIMIM candidates were runners-up—in Aurangabad East, Parbhani and Solapur City Central. AIMIM’s 24 candidates in the poll fray polled a total of 4,89,614 votes. AIMIM also supported a Dalit candidate of Panthers Republican Party who polled 35,348 votes. The overall vote tally of 25 candidates aggregated to 524,962. AIMIM and non-muslims
Apart from getting Dalits and Girijans elected as Mayors and Deputy Mayors of Hyderabad during 1986-1991, AIMIM has been fielding a number of non-Muslims–Dalits, Girijans (Tribals) and OBCs– in the successive civic, Assembly and parliamentary elections. Dalits, Girijans and OBCs have been elected to civic bodies in the State on AIMIM banner since 1959. In the 2014 General Elections, AIMIM had fielded four non-Muslims for Lok Sabha and eight non-Muslims for Assembly seats in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh States. AIMIM gave tickets to four non-Muslim candidates in Maharashtra Assembly polls held in 2014. AIMIM also supported the candidature of a Dalit candidate of Panthers Republican Party in Aurangabad West assembly seat in 2014 polls. Five non-Muslims (Dalits & Girijans) fielded by AIMIM were elected to the Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad in 1986. Again, in 2002 MCH polls, four non-Muslim candidates of AIMIM, including two women, were elected as corporators. In 2009, four non-Muslim candidates of AIMIM, including three women, were elected to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. In other municipalities and municipal corporations in Telangana, six non-Muslims were elected on AIMIM banner in the 2014 civic polls.
