Owaisi Secures Ganesh idol makers

Asaduddin Owaisi Aids Hyderabad Ganesh Idol Makers

In a significant move, AIMIM (All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen) chief Asaduddin Owaisi came to the aid of Ganesh idol makers in Hyderabad, who were facing eviction orders just before the upcoming Ganesh Chaturthi festival. The timely intervention by Owaisi led to Hyderabad Collector Anudeep Durishetty granting a crucial one-month extension to the idol makers, allowing them to continue their work without the fear of displacement.

The issue began when local authorities instructed the idol makers to vacate their setup in Dhoolpet, a neighborhood known for its extensive idol-making activities. These artisans, who had been diligently preparing for the festival, found themselves in a difficult situation. With the Ganesh Chaturthi festival fast approaching, they had already crafted a large number of idols. Being forced to vacate the area would have resulted in significant financial losses for the families who depend on this seasonal work for their livelihood.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the idol makers turned to Asaduddin Owaisi for assistance. They created a video appeal, urging him to intervene on their behalf to secure a one-month extension that would allow them to complete their work and sell the idols as planned. The video, which quickly gained attention, highlighted the challenges faced by the idol makers and the potential impact on their livelihoods.

In response, Owaisi took swift action. He instructed AIMIM’s Nampally MLA, Majid Hussain, to present the issue to Hyderabad Collector Anudeep Durishetty. The representation made by Hussain emphasized the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate relief for the idol makers. Acknowledging the concerns raised by AIMIM and the idol makers, the Collector agreed to grant a one-month extension, providing the much-needed respite for the artisans.

The extension allows the Ganesh idol makers to remain at their current location in Dhoolpet, ensuring that they can complete their work and participate fully in the upcoming Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The decision has been met with relief and gratitude from the idol makers, who expressed their heartfelt thanks to Asaduddin Owaisi and the AIMIM leadership for their support.

The gesture by Owaisi has been widely praised for its inclusivity and the positive impact it has had on the local community. By stepping in to assist the Ganesh idol makers, Owaisi demonstrated a commitment to fostering a supportive environment for all communities in Hyderabad, regardless of religious or cultural differences. This act of goodwill underscores the importance of dialogue, understanding, and cooperation in addressing community issues.

The intervention also serves as a reminder of the power of political leadership in bridging divides and promoting unity in a diverse society. By advocating for the rights and livelihoods of the Ganesh idol makers, Owaisi has shown that leaders can play a crucial role in bringing people together and finding solutions to complex challenges.

The Ganesh idol makers’ success in securing an extension has not only safeguarded their immediate interests but has also set a positive example of how community concerns can be effectively addressed through collaboration and mutual respect. The extension will enable these artisans to continue their work with peace of mind, contributing to the festive spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi in Hyderabad.

As the city prepares for the vibrant celebrations of Ganesh Chaturthi, the support extended by Asaduddin Owaisi and AIMIM serves as a testament to the strength of community solidarity. The incident highlights the importance of preserving cultural traditions while ensuring that the livelihoods of those who contribute to these traditions are protected.

The Ganesh idol makers have expressed their sincere appreciation for the timely intervention, recognizing it as a shining example of leadership that transcends barriers and promotes harmony within the community. The collective efforts of all involved have ensured that the upcoming festival will be celebrated with the enthusiasm and devotion that it deserves.

After getting the extension, the idol makers expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Asaduddin Owaisi.
