The New Indian Express, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi using words like “infiltrators". In an interview published in The New Indian Express on Monday, Owaisi said, "It is high time Muslims should wake up and learn from how Rajputs have reacted to the same statement issued by Union minister (Parshottam) Rupala.
