Amjed Ullah Khan (born 23 September 1972) is Ex Corporator, 35 Azampura Division (GHMC) and Spokesman of Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) in Hyderabad in the Indian state of Telangana,[1] He is controversial due to his views and as a main opponent of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM).[2][3]

Background

Amjed Ullah Khan is the son of 5 time MLA Amanullah Khan. He rose to fame when he intervened in the kidnap and rape case of a Muslim girl at TRR College. Satya Prakash Singh had kidnapped the girl and held her prisoner for 17 months, during which time he repeatedly raped her. When parents of the victim reported the crime, the local police took no action because Singh's brother is a prominent lawyer. AUK led an agitation movement against the police and Singh, and, joined by thousands of youngsters, brought heavy pressure on the police.[4]

In another instance, he urged the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the earlier repatriation of 450 Indians stranded in Sumeshi Jail of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.[5]

Praja Darbar

He is more famous because of Praja darbar[6] which provides financial assistance to the needy irrespective of cast, creed or religion.[7][8]

Majlis Bachao Tehreek

MBT was founded by Mohammed Amanullah Khan (politician) as a result of a split from the AIMIM. Amanullah Khan, who was a trusted lieutenant of the then AIMIM President Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi, formed the MBT (Save Majlis Movement) in 1993 after his suspension for protesting against the weak stance that the AIMIM took during the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Later, he launched a campaign over the Babri Masjid demolition. Other crucial issues that he raised were lack of internal democracy in the party, nepotism, political patronage and corruption in the AIMIM's civic dealings.[9][10][11]
