“I have been repeatedly saying that even though my father Baba Siddique joined the NCP, I will remain with the Congress, but still action was taken against me,” Zeeshan said.
“If a family member joining another party is the issue, then Rahul Gandhi should not be in Congress because Maneka Gandhi and Varun Gandhi are with the BJP. There are many such examples like AK Antony and Anil Antony. But their surname is not Siddique. So, is my surname the problem?” Zeeshan said.
He bagged 90 percent votes in the election for the Mumbai Youth Congress president’s post, and still the party took nine months to appoint him to the post, he said, adding, “I was harassed a lot because I am a Muslim.”
“Muslims have no place in the Congress, ” he alleged.
