Hyderabad: The All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his remark that minorities are made to “live in an illusion of fear”. On Sunday, Owaisi said that if he really cares about Muslims, he should stop cow vigilantes from lynching Muslims.
After being appointed as Prime Minister for second term, Modi made a statement of concern for Muslims in Central Hall of Parliament, on Sunday. He showed care for minorities saying that “The way the poor have been cheated, the minorities have been deceived the same way”. He also added “It would have been good if their education, their health had been in focus. I expect from you in 2019 that you would be able to make a hole in that deception. We have to earn their trust”. Also he talked about parties who made them to live in fear and exploited them for vote-bank politics.
Owaisi attacks Narendra Modi over remark on Muslim community about fear:
This statement of Modi was for opposition parties who forcefully use Muslim community for vote-bank politics. But Owaisi did not like PM’s comments. And he asked PM that “If Muslims seriously live in fear can the Prime Minister tell us, out of the 300 odd MPs, how many Muslims MPs he has in own party who got elected from Lok Sabha?”. “This is the hypocrisy and contradiction which the Prime Minister and his party have been practicing for the last five years.”
Owaisi said “People who killed Akhlaq (in Dadri in 2015 for allegedly storing beef)” were sitting on the front benches during Modi’s address in Parliament. Asaduddin also asked that “If PM feels Muslims live in fear, will he stop gangs, who in the name of cow, are killing, beating Muslims, taking our videos and demeaning us?” he asked.
The AIMIM chief also stated that “As given in our constitution, the Right to Life is for human beings and not animals,”. “I am sure that if the Prime Minister realizes this, then the fear of minorities will go away”. He shared an incident about three youths who were beaten up, over a doubt of having beef with them. This incident took place in Seoni district in Madhya Pradesh.
