'''A. Mohammed John''' (1948/1949 – 23 March 2021) was an Indian industrialist and politician. He served as Member of Rajyasabha representing Tamil Nadu. He defeated R. Gandhi of DMK party in 2011 general elections. The then ADMK party supremo J. Jayalalitha discharged him from the minister post to reshuffle her ministry and the Backward class ministry was handed over to Abdur Rahim. He was into controversy among the Muslims of his constituency for supporting the Bill and voted in favour of NDA Government's citizenship amendment Bill and there were severe protests out of his home in Ranipet which were organized by Minorities. The Muslims who are indigenous residents of Ranipet removed him from all the posts that are related to Ahle-sunnath-jama'ath which saw a major setback in his political career. While on enquiry about why he backed Tamil Nadu Chief minister Edappadi.k.Pazhaniswamy on CAB he said that the party and the commands from the same are priority for him therefore the jamaath of Ranipet removed him from all the posts of Masjid of which he was a member before. He was a member of the [[Fourteenth Assembly of Tamil Nadu|14th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly]] from the [[Ranipet (State Assembly Constituency)|Ranipet constituency]]. He represented the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] party.<ref>{{cite web|title=List of MLAs from Tamil Nadu 2011 |url=http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/member_list.pdf |publisher=Government of Tamil Nadu |access-date=2017-04-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320103427/http://www.assembly.tn.gov.in/member_list.pdf |archive-date=20 March 2012 }}</ref> He was minister of the state for the [[Department of Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes and Minorities Welfare (Tamil Nadu)|Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes and Minorities Welfare]].{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}<br />
