Baharampur, May 9, 2024: Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan will join the election rally in support of his brother, Yusuf Pathan, who is contesting for the Trinamool Congress in Baharampur.

He will arrive in Baharampur for the final campaign rally before the fourth phase of elections on May 13.

Irfan Pathan will participate in a roadshow across various areas of the Baharampur constituency, including Rezinagar and Beldanga, alongside Yusuf Pathan on Thursday.

Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee campaigned in Baharampur in support of Yusuf Pathan on Wednesday, with Irfan scheduled to appear the following day.

Yusuf Pathan is pitted against Congress’s Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in Baharampur, who has been the sitting MP since 1999.

The Congress had earlier filed a complaint with the Election Commission over the use of photos from ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 for an election campaign.

The party, in its complaint, mentioned that Yusuf Pathan had used banners and posters that showed the winning photos from the 2011 Cricket World Cup.
