Shah's promise to free Hyd from Nizami culture is gimmick: Nizam's kin
Mir Najaf Ali Khan, the grandson of Hyderabad's last Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan, said that Amit Shah's promise to free Hyderabad from 'Nizami' culture is "nothing more than a gimmick". "These politicians seek to malign my grandfather's name...belittle his immense contributions," he added. "Under the Nizam in the 1940s, Hyderabad was better than most western countries," he stated.
