‘If PM can visit temple, we can visit mosques’: Asaduddin Owaisi

TIL Desk/National/Hyderabad/ All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday said Muslims are free to follow their faith and visit mosques and should not be worried about the Bharatiya Janata Party’s return to power, as the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion to every citizen.

“If Modi can visit a temple we can visit our mosques. If Modi can go sit in a cave, we Muslims can also proudly say our prayers in mosques. Securing more than 300 seats is not a huge thing, Because India has a living Constitution. The 300 seats (of the BJP) cannot take away our rights,” said Owaisi.

The AIMIM chief, who was re-elected from Hyderabad for the fourth consecutive term, was addressing a Jalse-e-Youm-ul-Quran on the occasion of Jumat-Ul-Vida (last Friday of Ramzan) at Macca Masjid in Hyderabad on Friday.

The Hyderabad parliamentarian said: “Even in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP won, at least public should understand what happened there. If the BJP thinks that by winning 300 seats they can rule over India, they are wrong. I promise that Asaduddin Owaisi will fight for India. I appeal to the dalits to also come together.”
