QRT to address grievances of Hajis from next year: Ansari
'This year during Haj, I received some complaints about the accommodation in tents in Mina. I ensured all the issues were resolved within hours even as I personally monitored the situation round the clock. However, from next year, we will form a QRT that will oversee the arrangements and provide prompt solutions to any problems faced by Hajis,' said Ansari, who also serves as the chairman of the State Haj Committee, while speaking to HT.
Ansari, who will receive the first batch of U.P's Haj pilgrims arriving from Jeddah to Lucknow at around 12:35 am on Thursday via Air India flight (SV3106), said, 'It's a matter of joy that Hajis will start returning on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday. I will also seek their suggestions to improve the process from next year.'
This year, over 5,000 Haj pilgrims departed from the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow, while others left from Delhi Airport. Earlier, on April 29, a bus ferrying Haj pilgrims was flagged off by cabinet minister OP Rajbhar and Ansari at the Haj House in Lucknow. A total of 15,513 people from U.P. had applied for Haj this year, and all were granted approval.

Uganda, India and beyond: What Zohran Mamdani's win reveals about the insecurities of expulsion
Zohran Mamdani's sensational defeat of the Democratic Party establishment candidate Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral primary election is reverberating in the US and globally. His win has revealed the weaknesses of the Democratic Party and the potential for a progressive-left alternative within the party. Commentators largely view Mamdani as South Asian and Muslim, in line with contemporary US racial and religious identity formations. After October 7, 2023, and the ensuing US military-backed Israeli siege and genocide in Gaza, Mamdani was subject to virulent Islamophobia and xenophobic attacks for his criticism of the Biden-Harris administration's policies on Gaza. He continues to be subject to intensifying accusations of anti-Semitism. given his support for Palestinian rights. But Mamdani's political platform to make New York City an affordable city is not only shaped by democratic socialist principles connected to freedom struggles in the US like the Civil Rights Movement. Mamdani's class consciousness and identity is based on his Ugandan and Indian heritage and histories of anti-imperialist, racial and class struggle in Uganda. This context sheds light on alternative South Asian diaspora politics, and a deeper critique of Democratic Party neoliberal identitarian politics. These critiques are possible without ceding power to the anti-diversity and supremacist machinations of right-wing politics in power today, from the US to Uganda to India. Mass explusion In Insecurities of Expulsion: Afro-Asian Entanglements in Transcontinental Uganda (Duke University Press, 2025), I revisit the uneasy histories of the 1972 Asian expulsion – the mass expulsion of close to 80,000 South Asians of Ugandan heritage from the Ugandan nation by military dictator Idi Amin. Zohran Mamdani's mother is Indian film director, Mira Nair, and his father, Ugandan political scientist, Mahmood Mamdani. His father has detailed his expulsion in the memoir, From Citizen to Refugee: Uganda Asians Come to Britain (1973). Zohran was born five years after his father returned to Uganda from exile, when the first Ugandan President, Milton Obote, returned to power after the fall of Amin, and, in cooperation with the International Monetary Fund, initiated property repossession and repatriation for Ugandan Asians in exile. Obote would revoke Mamdani's citizenship again shortly thereafter due to his criticism of Ugandan governance. Ugandan Asian repatriation was more successful post-1986 after Yoweri Museveni's National Resistance Movement government led property repossession efforts. The current regime has focused on attracting Ugandan Asian and Indian investment, shifting from a politics of Indian expulsion and citizenship retraction to one of a politics of both Indian economic inclusion and racial exclusion. Indian capitalist entrepreneurship has expanded since the early 2000s, encouraged by the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015 and the export of the so-called Gujarat model to East Africa. Still, Ugandan state officials and legal instruments retain ideas of Ugandan citizenship that are based on Black African identity, African indigeneity and autochthony. Ugandan Asian return and new Indian diasporic investment is based on a post-expulsion politics of racial non-reconciliation, and the expulsion remains unresolved. Idi Amin had based his anti-Asian sentiments on three major post-independence concerns: the Indian community's economic and racial exploitation of Africans, the Indian community's lack of social integration with Africans, and the lack of inter-racial marriages between Indian and African communities, especially between Indian women and African men. It is quite easy for us (especially of South Asian diasporic descent) to explain away these accusations as manipulations of fact, stereotypes, or as dictatorial propaganda. Yet I show that South Asian diasporic understandings of the expulsion trend towards racially paternalistic interpretations of Uganda, Idi Amin and Africans as exceptionally illiberal, and of Ugandan Asians as singular victims of Ugandan nativist politics. Many continue to dismiss the contemporary resonances of Idi Amin's anti-Asian populist nationalism. Racial consciousness British rule and the social engineering of racial and class inequality between Indians and Africans was indeed reflected in the racial and class consciousness of the Ugandan Indian capitalist class: merchants and other entrepreneurs. Racial consciousness – and ideas about the inherent civilisational superiority of Indians and the inherent inferiority of Black Africans – was also informed by religious and caste-based boundaries, patriarchal kinship relations and gender and sexuality norms. Together, they constructed the boundaries of racially and caste 'pure Indian' and 'impure African' communities. These race-caste logics were sedimented within hierarchical labour-capital relationships and consolidated by apartheid-like legal arrangements and social segregation, leading to postcolonial racial tensions. One might return to this more complicated accounting of Indian elitist and racialist attitudes towards Black Africans – the idea that Ugandan Asians and the new Indian diaspora in East Africa have neither been easy victims, nor exclusively oppressors, in Africa. I met Zohran Mamdani in Kampala in 2014, when I worked with his father in the African Asian Association, an organisation comprised of Asians of Ugandan heritage and other South Asians who identified with African-ness and Ugandan-ness and called Uganda their home. The association was working through concerns about the new Indian diasporic presence in the city – their lack of social integration with Africans, Indian paternalism towards Africans, and a possible repeat of 1972. Zohran Mamdani attended one of the meetings of the AAA youth group and offered an astute analysis of renewed racialised class dynamics in Kampala. We discussed missed opportunities for egalitarian socialist policies in postcolonial Uganda, the rise of an Afro-Asian political class and internal class tensions within the Ugandan Asian and newcomer communities, including the rather proletarian and precarious migrants exploited by elites. His analysis was based on his father's generation's understanding of East African experiments with socialism, Ugandan Indian class formation and racial precarity in Uganda. He also showed a capacity for internal community critique. The 1972 Ugandan Asian expulsion is not as legible today in the US public sphere as it is in the UK and Canada, even though some Ugandan Asian exiles and descendants settled in the US. In Uganda, political elites appropriate commemorations of the 1972 Asian expulsion, typically with strategic and self-serving ambitions. The Modi government engages the Indian diaspora in Africa in projects of Hindu nationalism and the religious hatred of Muslims and other religious minorities, despite histories of religious pluralism in East Africa. British Indian politicians like Suella Braverman, Preeti Patel and Rishi Sunak, trace their origins to East Asian communities who fled East Africa. They have adopted understandings of their communities as entrepreneurial-citizens or even model minority citizens in meritorious competition or innate superiority with respect to the Black African diaspora and class-oppressed communities. Some, like Braverman, have even supported schemes to expel migrants and re-settle them to Rwanda. We can find parallels to this mode of retrograde South Asian diaspora politics among the likes of Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon or Federal Bureau of Investigation director Kash Patel (also of Ugandan Indian descent) who have allied themselves with the White Christian supremacist and anti-migrant demagoguery of the Trump MAGA regime. Idi Amin's Uganda, it seems, is not too far afield from us at all. Totalitarianism and its agents are Western and American, not only Ugandan or African. Coming full circle, the Trump administration has recently called for the denaturalisation of Zohran Mamdani's citizenship in the US. Progressive politics Zohran Mamdani's political imagination is a politics of South Asian diaspora that is not deracinated from its African roots. Africa teaches us about anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist and anti-racist struggle and the ways in which co-colonised South Asians might participate in solidarity with Black Africans and the African diaspora. In contrast to a politics of a Ugandan Asian or South Asian diaspora that is about nostalgia; or racial victimisation and resentment; or dubious nationalisms, supremacies and hatred, Mamdani's generation offers us guidance for a progressive African Asian diasporic politics that is engaged with the global condition. This politics disbands with representational identity and model minority politics and harnesses the power of uncomfortable histories and complicated identities to forge solidarities in context. However dislocated by historical process or birth circumstance, one can take principled actions against imperialist, capitalist, racist, casteist and patriarchal exploitation, and all forms of authoritarianism and fascism, both here and there, there and here. His win is an offering for all those seeking guidance within the Democratic Party – but also for all of us from entangled South Asian and African diasporas.

Lalu's 'Owaisi' dilemma: Will RJD align with AIMIM for Bihar polls? Seemanchal holds the key
Photo: Generative AI NEW DELHI: Ahead of the big Bihar battle, which is just a few months away, opposition parties are burning the midnight oil to piece together a winning arithmetic against the BJP-led ruling NDA. But one variable that continues to throw off their number game, as always, is Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM. AIMIM's Bihar chief Akhtarul Iman, who is also the party's lone MLA in the state, wrote a letter to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav , pitching to contest polls unitedly against the NDA. Akhtarul Iman's letter to RJD supremo Lalu Yadav Will Lalu Yadav accommodate the AIMIM in the Mahagathbandhan? Well, the answer is intricately layered. While AIMIM may be anti-BJP, many in the opposition bloc see Owaisi's party as complicating their fight. Traditionally, Yadavs and Muslims have formed the core voter base of Lalu Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), while AIMIM draws most of its support from Muslim voters. A tie-up with AIMIM would mean the RJD conceding part of that space to Owaisi, a move that may not be politically prudent for either Lalu or Tejashwi Yadav. If the RJD chooses to shrug off AIMIM's alliance offer, the move may not come without consequences. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 새로 나온 '실손보험' 최적가 가입추천! "월 보험료 줄이고, 보장은 더 든든하게"... 굿리치 [등록번호:제2006038313호] 가입하기 Undo In the 2020 Bihar assembly polls, Owaisi's party made a surprise mark, winning five seats in the Muslim-dominated Seemanchal region, which the Mahagathbandhan was hopeful of winning. In doing so, AIMIM dented the prospects of the RJD and Congress by cutting into their Muslim vote base, which makes up roughly 17 per cent of the electorate. A closer look at the results shows that AIMIM won seats that might otherwise have gone to the grand alliance. There were few, if any, constituencies where AIMIM's presence helped the NDA directly by splitting votes. Here's how the number game unravelled in the five seats that AIMIM won in 2020. In the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, AIMIM fielded 18 candidates across the state, with 14 of them contesting in the Muslim-dominated Seemanchal region. Out of these 14, the party won five seats. These included Amour and Baisi in Purnea district, where Akhtarul Iman and Syed Ruknuddin Ahmad secured victories, respectively. In Kishanganj, AIMIM won Kochadhaman and Bahadurganj, represented by Muhammad Izhar Asfi and Mohammad Anzar Nayeemi. The fifth win came from Jokihat in the Araria district, where Shahnawaz Alam emerged victorious. The results marked AIMIM's emergence as a serious player in Bihar's Muslim belt. Lalu Yadav's aversion to teaming up with AIMIM was evident when, just two years after their 2020 victory, four of AIMIM's five MLAs switched sides and joined the RJD. MLAs Shahnawaz Alam, Mohammad Anzar Nayeemi, Muhammad Izhar Asfi and Syed Ruknuddin Ahmad with Tejashwi Yadav after ditching the AIMIM in 2022. Despite being the political nemesis of the BJP, both the RJD and AIMIM trade charges at each other, with Lalu's party accusing Owaisi's party of being the "B-team" of the BJP. "The Bihar election will decide the political direction of the country. AIMIM wants to join the Mahagathbandha, but their track record suggests that they have worked as the BJP's B-team to benefit the ruling party," RJD spokesperson Mritunjay Tiwari told TOI. On the possibility of an alliance with AIMIM, he said: 'The final decision has to be taken by Lalu Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav, and the leaders of the Mahagathbandhan,' adding that there would be no split in votes this time, given the 'Tejashwi tsunami in the state.' A similar bittersweet sentiment was echoed by the AIMIM. While the party strongly denounced the "B-team" tag attached to it by the RJD, it appeared more determined to defeat the BJP. "It's their old habit to label us as the B team, C team, D team... but they have no evidence or data. They blame us for covering up their own flaws. We didn't contest in Haryana - so why did they (Congress) lose there? We didn't fight in most states, yet they still lost,' AIMIM spokesperson Waris Pathan told TOI. "Our objective in fighting elections is to defeat the BJP and prevent the division of secular votes. Even the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is contesting, but no one questions which team they belong to," he added. What if Lalu declines AIMIM's offer? In the event that the RJD declines to join hands with AIMIM, Waris Pathan said: 'Even if they don't respond, we will contest the election. Nobody can stop us.' With a renewed alliance pitch and a push for broader caste and regional representation, AIMIM is eyeing a larger, more inclusive role in Bihar's political landscape. The party has already announced Rana Ranjit, a Rajput from East Champaran, as its candidate from the Dhaka assembly constituency, a move aimed at expanding its appeal beyond its traditional Muslim voter base. More non-Muslim candidates are expected to follow, as AIMIM works to shed its image as a niche outfit. The party has also intensified its outreach across Bihar, focusing on core issues like flooding, high infant mortality, corruption, migration, unemployment, and human trafficking, particularly in neglected regions like Seemanchal. 'It's Up To Them' Owaisi Ready To Join Mahagathbandhan In Bihar Elections, Says NDA Must Go As Bihar's political chessboard resets for yet another showdown, AIMIM's knock at the Grand Alliance's door may continue to hold a whiff of suspicion for the bloc. However, whether Lalu Yadav lets Owaisi in or keeps him out, the party's presence is expected to stir the pot, especially in Seemanchal. For now, AIMIM is playing both outsider and aspirant, pitching unity, denying labels, and preparing for a solo flight if need be. In Bihar's ruthless electoral math, even a small miscalculation can swing the result.
