AIMIM expels its MLC Mirza Rehmath Baig following a controversy involving a viral video and allegations circulating on social media. The party takes action against Baig amid internal and public scrutiny of the claims.
In response to the expulsion, the BJP says the matter does not amount to “justice,” while AIMIM presents its decision as a party disciplinary step. The reports focus on the sequence of events—viral content, wider online allegations, and then the party’s internal measure—without establishing independent verification of the underlying claims at the time of reporting. The controversy continues to be discussed in political statements, with parties taking different positions on whether the expulsion is sufficient.
