Maharashtra: Now AIMIM opposes memorials for all political leaders
Memorials currently proposed are for Shivaji Maharaj, Bal Thackeray and Gopinath Munde.
After stirring a controversy by opposing the proposed memorial of BJP leader, the late Gopinath Munde, in Aurangabad, AIMIM leader Imtiaz Jaleel has now come up and said that including a memorial for Bal Thackeray, no memorial should be built on government properties.
Jaleel had raised objections in the Maharashtra assembly against building memorials in the name of any leader from any political party. He had stated in the assembly that at a time when there are many poor people who do not get proper medical treatment, how could the government spend so much public money on unnecessary proposals.
According to regional media, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM)​ leader has also threatened to move court if this demand in not met by the Maharashtra government.
