BJP accuses Owaisi of making provocative remarks on consecration of Ram temple
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi of provoking the country's youths by «communalising» the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Rural Development Minister Giriraj Singh said both Hindus and Muslims in India have the «same DNA», and urged Hindu youths to pledge that no attacker will be able to harm the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
He was reacting to Owaisi's reported remarks where, while referring to Babri mosque, the AIMIM asked the Muslim youths if they don't feel the pain that «the place where we sat and recited the Quran for 500 years is not in our hands today».
«Young people, don't you see that a conspiracy is taking place regarding three- four more mosques, in which the Sunheri Masjid (Golden Mosque) of Delhi is also included? After years of hard work, we have achieved our position today…
»It should not happen that our mosques are snatched away from us...," he said in his address at an event whose video was posted on X by his party AIMIM on Monday.
Reacting to the post, BJP's Information and Technology head Amit Malviya accused Owaisi of communalising the consecration of Ram Mandir.
«Asaduddin Owaisi is doing what he does best, communalising the consecration of Ram Mandir.
»In 2020, two Mosques in Hyderabad, Masjid-e-Mohammadi and Masjid-e-Hashmi were demolished to build the Secretariat but Owaisi, who is Member of Parliament from the city, didn't utter a word," Malviya said.
BJP leader Giriraj Singh likened Owaisi to Pakistan found M A Jinnah.
«In 1947, Jinnah left India on August 15, but the ghost of Jinnah remained in India, and it entered people like Owaisi,» Singh said.
