The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (transl. All India Council for Unity of Muslims; abbr. AIMIM) is an Indian political party based primarily in the old city of Hyderabad,^[6] It is also a significant political party in the Indian States of Telangana , Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Bihar.^[7]

AIMIM has held the Lok Sabha seat for the Hyderabad constituency since 1984. In the 2014 Telangana Legislative Assembly elections, the party won seven seats and received recognition as a "state party" by the Election Commission of India.^[8]

For much of its existence, it had little presence beyond old Hyderabad. However, in more recent years, it has begun expanding into other states. It now has a significant presence in Maharashtra, with Imtiyaz Jaleel winning the Aurangabad Lok Sabha constituency in 2019 and with multiple members elected to the Legislative Assembly.^[9] It has also made inroads in Bihar, winning five Legislative Assembly seats in 2020.^[10] Multiple members of the party have been accused of inciting violence, fear mongering and hate speech.^[11]^[12]^[13]
