Many Gulbarga Leaders from Congress MLA Priyank Kharge, MLA Ajay Singh ,Baba Nazar Mohammed Khan, Ex HKE President Basavaraj Bhimalli, etc supported her and More than sympathy, the election campaign was done by highlighting the contributions of her husband Qamar-ul-Islam and won election against Nasir Hussain Ustad of JD(s) and Chandrakanth Patil of BJP by 5,940 votes.[12]

CAA Protest[]

A massive protest, the largest in North Karnataka, took place in the town of Kalaburagi against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Around 15,000 people gathered for protest march & came out defying Section 144 notification that was imposed on the entire state of Karnataka. MLA Kaneez Fathima was the major catalyst in mobilising citizens. All local Congress Corporators reportedly came out in support of the protest.[13][14]

Controversy[]

Kaneez Fatima had purchased 22 acres of agriculture land near Gulbarga. S K Kantha, former minister, had filed a complaint alleging that the purchase was illegal and violated Karnataka Land Reforms Act, 1961. The Act prohibits purchase of agricultural land by any person other than an agriculturist. The Gulbarga tahsildar, in his report to the Assistant Commissioner, stated that Qamarul Islam runs schools and owns commercial complexes and hence the income of Fatima exceeded Rs two lakh per annum. The Assistant Commissioner set aside the purchase of land by Fatima with an observation that the purchaser had violated the provisions of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act. He has directed the tahsildar to take over the land and mention Karnataka Government as the owner of the land.[15]
