History[edit]
Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) was founded by Mohammed Amanullah Khan as a result of differences with AIMIM President Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi.

Later, he launched a campaign against the demolition.[3] He raised other crucial issues including lack of internal democracy in the AIMIM, nepotism, political patronage, and corruption.

Mumtaz Ahmed Khan was a member of MBT until 1999.
Before MBT, the AIMIM had 4 legislators in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly. After the split, MBT took Chandrayangutta and Yakutpura. The AIMIM won only 1 seat, Charminar. The 4th seat, Asifnagar was lost to both parties due to the division of votes among AIMIM Candidate Virasat Rasool Khan and MBT Candidate Mohammed Vizarat Rasool Khan, both brothers. Congressman D Nagender won Asif Nagar three times in 1994, 1999, 2004.

Adam Malik, a close aide of Aman Ullah Khan, was President of the MBT and served till his death.[4] Dr. Khayam Khan, eldest son of the late Aman Ullah Khan, was elected as President of the MBT and served until his death.[5]
