"People do not like Abbas. Just giving a name tag Secular does not mean the party is secular. He is doing politics in the name of religion," said Ali, who claimed that IFS had earlier approached TMC for alliance but the latter refused. Then, ISF had approached Left Front. On Tuesday, Congress and the Left Front agreed to give 37 seats to ISF. Before the launch of ISF, Asaduddin Owaisi supremo All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) had met Abbas in Furfura Sharif.
