Jamil Saidi is an Indian industrialist and politician from the Indian National Congress.[citation needed] who has also been Rajasthan Youth Congress General Secretary in the past.[1]
Early life
Jamil Saidi was born in Tonk, Rajasthan. He lived in London from the early 1990s for more than 15 years and was a successful businessman who commuted between England and Germany on a regular basis. After fifteen years he finally came to India and got into politics, but then realised politics wasn't what he wanted to do.[2]
Career
Jamil Saidi formed Pipal Food Industries in 2006, Rajasthan Leather Industries, and Global Petromin in 2005. In his large property in Rajasthan, he is forming an Agro Food Park which will be a multimillion-dollar investment for the industry.
He also campaigned for the former Indian Cricket team captain Azharuddin in the 2014 Member of Parliament elections in Tonk and for the Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot in the Member of Legislative Assembly elections in 2018.[3]
The entrepreneur acquired the rights for the Oscar-Nominated film “Muhammad The Messenger of God” and plans to launch it in Indian theatres before mid-2021 and in the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
Financial Irregularities
Jamil Saidi was accused in the Oil for Food scandal in 2005 and was brought in by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning several times and also appeared before the press. Yet again in 2016, he was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate, and in 2019 Jamil was questioned many times regarding the Augusta Westland Case, where he also had a LOC on him for months and was denied permission by the ED to go pick up his minor children Aryaan & Shayaan from London, who were doing a course at Oxford University.[4][5]
