Sahar Shaikh

Sahar Shaikh is a 29-year-old corporator from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), representing the Thane Municipal Corporation. Recently, she sparked controversy with her statement about wanting Mumbra to be 'painted green,' which she clarified was a reference to her party's flag color rather than a communal sentiment. Her remarks came after a significant electoral victory for her party, which gained five seats in the municipal elections, outperforming established parties like Congress and Shiv Sena. Shaikh has positioned herself as a rising political figure in Mumbra, emphasizing her secular stance and the party's growing influence at the grassroots level.
