Majrooh Sultanpuri's son enters poll ring
Andaleeb Sultanpuri, son of noted poet-lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri, is contesting from Bandra West on Rashtriya Ulama Council's ticket. The council has so far picked two candidates, including Chand Mohammed Sheikh from Colaba.
Asked whether he would be blamed for splitting Muslim votes and indirectly helping Mahayuti candidate Ashish Shelar, Sultanpuri said: "MVA should have thought about it. Are we only to support others? I want Muslim youths to become self-reliant."
