Mumbai, Maharashtra: On 'Regime Change', AIMIM National Spokesperson Waris Pathan says, "Look, the meaning and significance of "regime change"—what I have read, what I understand, and what everyone knows—is a change of power through democratic means. I am telling you very clearly in Hindi. A democratic way of change—that is regime change. Is it happening for the first time? After Indira Gandhi, when the Emergency was imposed, there was a regime change later; after Manmohan Singh, there was a regime change; in 2014, there was also a regime change when the Modi government came..."

Mumbai, Maharashtra: On Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil’s allegations that Deputy CM Eknath Shinde received Rs 500 crore from the BJP to end his agitation, AIMIM leader Waris Pathan says, "This is a very serious matter, a very serious allegation has been made against them. So, the government should conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and bring everything into the public domain. It is a big allegation. Whoever is involved, whether the allegation is true or false—that will only be proven when the investigation takes place. So, the government should take proper action and bring it to the public domain."

Mumbai, Maharashtra: On Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's meeting with party leader Azam Khan, AIMIM leader Waris Pathan says, "Preparations for the UP elections have begun. Our party president has already conducted public rallies for five to six weeks, and you must have seen the huge crowds. A sea of people is swelling up, coming to listen to his rallies. We are confident that people are showering love on Asad Bhai and giving love to AIMIM. We will get good success. Now look, as Asad Sahab said—we were already supporting Azam Khan. As soon as Azam Khan's name was taken, suddenly Akhilesh Ji remembered that Azam Sahab is in jail—'Run!' Just for the sake of Muslim votes, he reached the jail today itself. Where was he till now? Was he sleeping? Why didn't he go earlier? Muslims are sensible, which is why they say—do not underestimate Asad Owaisi Sahab, he will change the whole game! He had to run. This is the strength of Majlis. We are going there for empowerment. We want to build leaders there. Muslims should also have a share in power. We want to elect such people and send them to the Assembly who will fight for rights and justice..."

Mumbai, Maharashtra: On the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff, AIMIM leader Waris Pathan says, "Mumbai Police is like Singham. If the Mumbai Police wants, they can uproot these people completely and throw them away. We saw what used to happen in the 80s and 90s. Similarly, people used to come, fire guns, and do all kinds of things. What did the Mumbai Police do? They took action into their own hands and completely cleaned them out. Now again, it feels like the 80s and 90s era is being seen in Mumbai. People are firing guns in broad daylight, and a naked dance of terror is being played. Firing happened at Tiger, before that at Salman Khan's place, at Rohit Shetty's house, and Baba Siddique was even killed. Back then, the Maharashtra government said that whoever is involved will be caught, finished, and eliminated from the root. Now what happened? The same thing is being said again: 'We will do this, we will do that'. Brother, when you know who is doing it, why they are doing it, and what their motive is, why is everyone sitting silent? Until action is taken, what safety is there for a common citizen in Mumbai? If Bollywood stars are not safe, what safety does a common citizen have in Mumbai?..."
