Her remark — “If Allah wills, a day will come when a hijab- and niqab-wearing Muslim woman will become the Prime Minister of India” — sparked widespread discussion and made her a talking point across political circles.
Syeda Falak’s Aggressive Campaign Style Impresses Supporters
During the BMC election campaign, Syeda Falak’s aggressive and fearless speeches reminded many supporters of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi. Her sharp attacks on opposition parties and confident public presence attracted large crowds.
The 31-year-old leader from Hyderabad led AIMIM’s campaign across several parts of Maharashtra, including Solapur, where her public meetings drew thousands of people, especially young voters.
Rising Popularity Among Youth and Women
Syeda Falak’s speeches resonated strongly with the youth, with many praising her clarity on issues such as:
- Minority rights
- Constitutional values
- Women’s empowerment
- Political representation of Muslims
Political observers say her communication style and confidence have helped AIMIM expand its appeal beyond traditional voter bases.
From Karate Champion to Political Leader
Before entering politics, Syeda Falak had already made a name for herself on the global stage. Known as “Falak the Fighter,” she is an international karate champion with an impressive record:
- 20+ national gold medals
- 22 international gold medals
- First woman athlete from Telangana to qualify for World and Asian Karate Championships
- Represented India at the Commonwealth Karate Championship
Her sporting background has played a major role in shaping her disciplined and fearless public image.
Advocate and Self-Defence Trainer
By profession, Syeda Falak is also an advocate. She runs a karate academy where she trains girls in self-defence, focusing on confidence-building and physical safety.
Supporters say this combination of legal knowledge, sports discipline, and grassroots activism sets her apart from many first-generation politicians.
AIMIM’s Strong New Face in Maharashtra
Syeda Falak joined AIMIM in 2020 and has since grown into one of the party’s most effective speakers after Owaisi. Her growing presence in Maharashtra politics is being closely watched by analysts, who believe she could play a significant role in future state and national-level politics.
With her fearless voice, strong background, and rising popularity, Syeda Falak is being seen as a new symbol of bold leadership within AIMIM and beyond.
