Targeting the Congress-NCP for “neglecting” the problems of the minority community, Jaleel said Congress is trying to woo Muslims in view of the local bodies polls.

Congress-NCP ruled Maharashtra for 15 years between 1999-2014.

The legislator also hit out at NCP supremo Sharad Pawar over his accusation that the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) was terrorising Muslim youths on mere suspicion of being associated with outfits like ISIS.

He claimed that during the Congress-NCP rule in Maharashtra, innocent Muslims youths had been arrested and jailed. “Why didn’t Pawar raise this question (at that time)?,” he asked.

Jaleel also condemned the gang-rape of a minor girl in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra.

“During the last nine months, 107 rapes against Dalit women were reported in Maharashtra,” the MLA claimed.
