Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem President Inayathullah Shabandri quits JD(S), joins Congress
Bhatkal (Uttara Kannada): President of Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem Bhatkal and noted JD(S) leader Inayathullah Shabandri on Friday joined the Congress party at an event attended by KPCC Chief DK Shivakumar and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Inayathullah Shabandri had distanced himself from the JD(s) following its alliance with the BJP for the ongoing Lok Sabha Elections. However, he had not shared any official statement on his stance over the matter.
Several social media users had raised their objection and had sought clarification from Inayathullah on his stand over his party’s decision to form alliance with the BJP. It had also to do with the post of President of socio-religious organization of Bhatkal, Majlis-e-Islah wa Tanzeem that he holds, that had mounted pressure on him to issue a clarification.
