Mohammed Arif (Naseem) Khan, a senior Congress leader, has resigned from his role as a star campaigner for the party during the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, citing the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) bloc's failure to field any Muslim candidates in Maharashtra. This decision, which he describes as part of a broader 'Muslim Quota Storm', has sparked significant controversy within the party. Khan plans to discuss his concerns directly with the party leadership, emphasizing the need to adhere to Congress's long-standing ideology. Union Minister Giriraj Singh and other political figures have also commented on the situation, highlighting the internal conflicts and perceived neglect of Muslim representation by the Congress.
