'Not A Communal Comment': AIMIM Corporator Clarifies 'Green Mumbra' Remark

Political tensions have flared in Maharashtra's Mumbra after AIMIM's civic poll victory, triggered by a remark from corporator Sahar Yunus Shaikh about "painting Mumbra green in five years." The comment sparked a sharp political backlash, with the Shinde Sena accusing AIMIM of indulging in communal colour politics and even alleging the use of "Pakistan's language." Amid the statewide storm, the AIMIM corporator clarified that her statement was not communal and was meant to reflect development and political change, not religious identity. The controversy has intensified post-poll rivalries in the Mumbra civic battleground.
