    Ahead of the upcoming Telangana Assembly polls, there is widespread speculation in political circles that the All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is likely to field Akbaruddin Owaisi’s son, Dr. Nooruddin Owaisi, as an MLA candidate.

    Initially, Asaduddin and Akbaruddin Owaisi had planned to field Nooruddin Owaisi in the 2018 assembly polls. However, due to his age, the plan was postponed. It is highly probable that he will now be fielded in the upcoming assembly polls.

    Dr. Nooruddin Owaisi, who holds an MBBS degree, currently serves as a trustee and secretary of the Salar-e-Millat Educational Trust.

    AIMIM to enter fourth generation

    In 2008, Asaduddin Owaisi became the third president of the party. Later, his brother became the floor leader of the party. Now, it is likely that Akbaruddin Owaisi’s son will enter politics.
