TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for raising “religious” slogans, as he alleged that the BJP-led government’s real intention was to “convert India into a Hindu rashtra”.
“He (Modi) is the first Prime Minister since independence to use ‘religious’ slogans during a public rally…India had seen so many PMs and will see many more, but no Prime Minister has ever raised a religious slogan,” the Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP said while referring to Modi’s ‘Jai Shri Ram’ greeting on Dussehra in Lucknow.
“All Indians think for a while, if anyone wearing a skull cap and sporting beard becomes PM and says ‘Allah-o-Akbar’, all channels will run (news) that India has become an Islamic country. (But) If Modi raises ‘majahabi’ (religious) slogan, no one will say anything,” he said.
Continuing his tirade, Owaisi said, “Aapka asal maksad ye hain ki Hindustan to Hindu Rashtra me tabdil kiya jaye. (Your real intention is to convert India into Hindu nation).” The leader was speaking at a protest meeting organised by All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) at AIMIM party headquarters at Darussalam here, opposing the NDA government’s stand on Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and triple talaq.
