Vote for Muslims: Council

Lucknow, Oct 23 (UNI) Progressive Muslim Political Council (PMPC) today appealed the community to support Muslim candidates in the forthcoming Uttar Pradesh local body elections.

Talking to mediapersons here, PMPC president Dr M A Siddiqui urged his community to vote for a Samajwadi Party candidate, if he is a Muslim or vote for a Congress candidate, if the aspirant is a Muslim.

''In case there is no Muslim candidate, vote for one with a clean public image,'' he advised.

Dr Siddiqui said in this way, Muslims would be able to increase their participation in politics.
