Wife of Nagpur Riots Accused to Contest Civic Polls
Alisha Khan, the wife of a man accused in the Nagpur riots, is running for office in the upcoming elections.
She wants to make a difference because she believes political power is necessary to fight against unfair treatment.
Her husband, Fahim Khan, was in jail for four months, and their house was demolished.
Alisha says she wants to improve sanitation and healthcare in her area.
She is running as a candidate for the AIMIM party because she feels other parties do not support people like her.
Many people in her community are supporting her, and she hopes to win to help her community.
Alisha Khan, wife of Nagpur riots accused Fahim Khan, is contesting the January 15 Maharashtra municipal elections in Ward 3D.
Alisha's decision to contest is driven by the injustice her family faced, including Fahim's four-month jail term and their house demolition.
She is running on an AIMIM ticket, accusing the BJP and Congress of not nurturing Muslim leadership.
Alisha highlights sanitation and healthcare concerns in her ward, including lack of medical facilities and regular sanitation services.
