It is high time Muslims created their political leadership."[5] He has even fought the 2014 Loksabha Elections from Azamgarh against Mulayam singh Yadav, the founder of Samajwadi Party stating that it's a fight for justice.[6] Maulana is known for his statements in favour of the marginalized sections of the society specially the Minorities and other oppressed classes.[7] He has led many mass movements on Muslim Reservation, Illegal detention of the Innocents, Article 341, Triple Talaq.[8]
