Ahmed Hasan Imran: Journalist

Ahmed Hasan Imran, a former Trinamool Congress (TMC) Member of Parliament, currently  the Chairman of West Bengal Minorities Commission is a prominent figure known for his deep-rooted connection with the media and active involvement in politics. Born in West Bengal, Imran carved out a notable career in journalism before transitioning into the political arena.

Imran began his career as a journalist, becoming a significant voice in the Bengali media landscape.

His transition into politics came when he joined the Trinamool Congress, a party that was gaining momentum in West Bengal under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee. Imran's deep understanding of the socio-political issues affecting the Muslim community made him an asset to the party, and in 2014, he was elected to the Rajya Sabha, representing the TMC.
