Early life

Jaleel was born and raised in Aurangabad to Syed Abdul Jaleel and Zakiya Jaleel. [3] His father was a civil surgeon and his brother is a manager at Jet Airways. [7] Jaleel married Roomi Fatema on 8 July 1993, with whom he has two sons. [3]

Jaleel completed both his Master of Business Administration (1996) and Master of Mass Communication and Journalism (2000) from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University. [1]

Political career

Initially Jaleel worked as a journalist for Lokmat and NDTV. [8] He entered politics in 2014 when he contested assembly seat from Aurangabad Central assembly constituency for All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM). He started his campaign 22 days before the polling and defeated the sitting Shiv Sena legislator Pradeep Jaiswal by a margin of around 20,000 votes. [9] [10]

On 23 April 2015, under the leadership of Imtiaz Jaleel, MIM won 25 seats in the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation elections. [11] During DPDC meeting which was held on 29 January 2015, Imtiyaz Jaleel raised the issue of costly MRI charges at the government-run hospital in Aurangabad. Then District Guardian Minister Ramdas Kadam directed GMCH authorities to reduce the charges of MRI scan from Rs 1,800 to Rs 700. [12]

On 14 October 2017, Jaleel had filed a public interest litigation (PIL) before the Aurangabad bench of Bombay high court, seeking direction to the state government to allot seven acres of land to build a 200-bed hospital for women and children in Aurangabad. The court had directed the state and district administration to file a reply within six months. [13] [14]

On 26 March 2019, MIM decided to contest Aurangabad Lok Sabha seat in Maharashtra in alliance with the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi led by Prakash Ambedkar. MIM President Asaduddin Owaisi had picked Imtiyaz Jaleel as the party candidate. [15]

Jaleel won the Aurangabad Lok Sabha seat defeating the four-time sitting MP from the Shiv Sena, Chandrakant Khaire, with a slim margin of 4,492 vote. Commenting on the results, Chitra Lele, professor of political science at SNDT University said, “By not raking up national issues and shunning criticism of Narendra Modi, Jaleel avoided polarisation of votes on religious lines. On the other hand, a split in the votes going to Khaire, and AIMIM’s alliance with VBA ensured that he gets votes from dalits and other deprived communities”. [16] [17]

Since 2021, Jaleel sits on the Maharashtra Waqf Board. [18]

In the 2024 Lok Sabha election, Jaleel lost to Sandipanrao Bhumre of Shiv Sena by 134,650 votes. [19]

PIL for 400 Bed Hospital instead of politician Gopinath Munde Statue

Jaleel played a pivotal role in the establishment of a 400-bed women and neonatal hospital in Aurangabad. In 2017, Jaleel filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that prompted the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court to intervene in the stalled project, originally sanctioned in 2013 but delayed due to lack of available land. Following the court's directives, the district collector allocated 21,853 square meters of prime land at the Government Milk Dairy for the hospital. District civil surgeon SV Kulkarni confirmed the land possession and outlined plans for construction, with the state government funding the project. Jaleel expressed satisfaction with this progress, noting that the high court would monitor the hospital's development. [30] [31]
