Leaflets handed out in Bradford East attacking the record of Terry Rooney as an MP are part of a campaign to raise awareness of the election within the Muslim community in the constituency, according to the organisation behind them.
The leaflet was designed to inform people about Mr Rooney’s voting record on issues important to the Muslim community, said Rukiya Dadhiwala, of Muslim Public Affairs Committee Bradford.
It follows Mr Rooney pulling out of a hustings event in the area after spotting the leaflets.
The group has reiterated it does not support Muslim candidates simply for their religious beliefs.
