Zeeshan Siddiqui, son of Baba Siddiqui
Mumbai: Baba Siddiqui’s son Zeeshan Siddiqui is contesting from Bandra East from the NCP Ajit Pawar faction. In a special interview with India TV, he spoke openly about many issues. Zeeshan Siddiqui said that what happened to me cannot be compensated. Now I will fight my father’s incomplete battle. I will follow the path shown by my father. My father didn’t come to my office much. Meanwhile I went out to eat something. As soon as he heard the news of the gunshot, he fled barefoot.
Zeeshan Siddiqui said that when my father came to my office, we asked if there was work, and then our father said there was no work. He said now we will meet at home. I’m leaving here. I used to walk on foot with the workers.
The shooters shot his father while he was sitting in the car
Zeeshan Siddiqui said his father had lost a lot of blood due to the gunshot wound. The doctors tried hard to save dad. The shooters had opened fire on Dad while he was sitting in the car. Lawrence Bishnoi’s name came up before my father arrived at the hospital. My father and I did not receive any threats. We had talked about increasing security. The NCP leader said one of Papa Baba Siddiqui’s two security guards used to leave early. The shooters had come to my office to kill me too. I feel like even by leaving, my father saved me.
Zeeshan Siddiqui accused Congress of cheating
Targeting Maha Vikas Aghadi, Zeeshan Siddiqui said Congress did not fight any battle for my rights. Whatever happened to me, that’s why my father left Congress. Many people in Congress are anti-Muslim. He said the Congress had told me two and a half years ago that they could not give you tickets from Bandra East. You contest the elections from Versova.
Zeeshan Siddiqui said that after his father’s murder many leaders came to him. Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders had also talked about not fielding any candidate for their seat, but they did not do so.
