(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Bharatiya Janata Party yesterday cancelled the membership of Sabir Ali, a day after he was accepted in the party fold, amid protests from within.
"The membership of Sabir Ali stands annulled from the BJP," party leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said. Ali joined the BJP after being expelled from the Janata Dal-United.
BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi openly expressed dissent over BJP's decision to accept him in the party. "Terrorist Bhatakal friend join BJP...soon accepting Dawood..." Naqvi had tweeted. There are allegations on social media that Indian Mujahideen co-founder Yaseen Bhatkal was arrested from Sabir Ali's house.
Ali said he was innocent and said he would quit politics if his involvement is proved
