โ€œBJPโ€™s Agenda To End Indiaโ€™s Diversity, Muslim Identityโ€: Asaduddin Owaisi

Owaisi said, โ€œThey think they have danger from halal meat, Muslimsโ€™ caps, and their beards. They have problems with their food habits. The party is actually against Muslim identityโ€

Hyderabad: Lambasting the Centre, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was against โ€œMuslim identityโ€.

โ€œThey think they have danger from halal meat, Muslimsโ€™ caps, and their beards. They have problems with their food habits. The party is actually against Muslim identity,โ€ the AIMIM chief said. He further alleged that BJPโ€™s real agenda is to end Indiaโ€™s diversity.

โ€œPMโ€™s words โ€˜Sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwasโ€™ are empty rhetoric. BJPโ€™s real agenda is to end Indiaโ€™s diversity and Muslim identity,โ€ Owaisi added.

Notably, Owaisi is planning to gain a stronghold in Uttar Pradeshโ€™s politics.

Owaisiโ€™s party will contest all the seats in future elections in the state, as per the Uttar Pradesh AIMIM president Shaukat Ali.

Ali also claimed that many leaders of the Samajwadi Party will join the Asaduddin Owaisi-led party in the future.

Speaking to ANI earlier, Ali said that the Muslims have always supported โ€œsecular forcesโ€ to defeat the BJP.
โ€œThe people are coming towards AIMIM now. We are contesting in East UP, Purwanchal, Central UP and Bundelkhand. Leaders of the Samajwadi Party will join MIM. The 2017 elections were polarised by the BJP through the media. The Muslims thought that the Samajwadi Party could defeat the BJP. Since independence, the Muslims have always supported secular forces to defeat the BJP,โ€ he said.

Stating that his party chief Owaisi never polarised by speaking on the โ€œHindu-Muslim issuesโ€, Ali said that the party will keep fighting for the community.

โ€œOwaisi never spoke about Hindu-Muslim issues. ATMs were blacklisted in Muslim areas, so it became national news. It became a Hindu-Muslim issue. There are hardly any banks in Muslim areas in UP. No schools, no proper hospitals and medicines in these areas. We will keep fighting for all this,โ€ Ali said.
Last month, after the Uttar Pradesh government ordered a survey of Islamic educational institutions or Madrassas in Kanpur, Owaisi alleged that the government is targeting Waqf property which is a โ€œsystematic targeting of Muslimsโ€.

Attacking the Uttar Pradesh government, Owaisi alleged that there is a โ€œconspiracyโ€ behind madrasasโ€™ survey.

While addressing the media persons in Hyderabad, he said, โ€œWhy are you (UP Govt) conducting a survey of Waqf properties only? Do it for Hindu Endowments Board properties too. I was saying thereโ€™s a conspiracy behind madrasasโ€™ survey. Itโ€™s coming to the fore. UP govt is violating Article 300 (Right to property).โ€

โ€œIf someone has illegally registered govt property as Waqf property, fight it in court, go to Tribunal. UP govt is targeting Waqf property and trying to snatch it away. Such a targeted survey is absolutely wrong. We condemn it. Itโ€™s systematic targetting of Muslims,โ€ he added.
