AIMIM had fielded 38 candidates for the Uttar Pradesh but failed to secure a single constituency.
The Hyderabad parliamentarian on Saturday while speaking to the media refused to comment on a question regarding the senior Congress leader. “Just ignore him. He is a joker. Don’t take his name, at least not here (in party headquarters in Darussalaam),” Owaisi had retorted in a jovial manner.
