Shahid Siddiqui: Partition ruined Indian Muslims
Mr. Shahid Siddiqui is a prominent Indian politician and journalist. He is a former member of the Rajya Sabha, the Upper House of the Indian Parliament representing the state of Uttar Pradesh from 2002 to 2008. He is the chief editor of Nai Duniya, an Urdu weekly publication based in New Delhi. He earned his master's in political science at Delhi University. Subsequently, he taught political science at his alma mater for about 15 years. He was born on August 15, 1949, in Old Delhi's Mohalla Balli Maran, where the famous Urdu poet Ghalib once lived.
He started his political career with the Indian National Congress and was the head of its Minority Cell (1997–1999). He subsequently joined the Samajwadi party and was its National General Secretary from 2002 to 2008 and its Rajya Sabha member till he quit the Samajwadi party on July 19, 2008, and joined its archrival, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). He was expelled from the BSP on December 14, 2009, for speaking out against its leader, Mayawati, former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh.
He joined the Rashtriya Lok Dal on April 12, 2010. He cited his support for the RLD chief, Ajit Singh's demand for the creation of the state of Harit Pradesh as the reason for his joining the RLD. Prior to the 2012 Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly election, he resigned from the RLD in protest against its alliance with the Congress party and returned to the Samajwadi party.
He was expelled from Samajwadi Party in July 2012 for interviewing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on post-Godhra anti-minority riots. In that interview, Mr. Modi had said, "Hang me if I am guilty". The cover-page interview ran into six pages and covered issues like state of Muslims in Gujarat, post-Godhra riots and other sensitive issues.
Mr. Siddiqui termed Samajwadi party's stand of disowning him as a mere joke, saying "I had joined the party in presence of all major Samajwadi Party leaders, including Mulayam Singh Yadav. So this joke is really sad." It was reported in the media that his expulsion from Samajwadi Party had irked some Muslim leaders.
