His complaint is that even though posters of other parties are damaged, only AIMIM's publicity material is being destroyed. Danish Aziz says, “Do we not have the right to contest elections? Do we not have the right to hold meetings? Even before this, our meetings have been disrupted and there has been opposition during the campaign.” He also leveled allegations against Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers, saying that their meeting was deliberately disrupted by raising the slogan “জয় বাংলা”. However, till now no official response has been received from TMC regarding this allegation. Danish Aziz clearly stated that he will not be afraid of such incidents and will continue the election fight till the end.
