All India Majils-e-Ittehadul Muslimeem (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin OWaisi has suggested that Muslims in the country should wake up and learn from Rajputs on how to respond to unparliamentary remarks made against their community. Owaisi made the remarks while speaking to The New Indian Express, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s use of words like “infiltrators.””
In an interview published in The New Indian Express on Monday, Owaisi stated “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. Throughout the country they have announced that they are upset, their feelings have been hurt and they are emotionally surcharged. They have decided that they will defeat the BJP whatever be the cost.”
Owaisi further stated that the biggest minority of the country who are Muslims, should learn from Rajputs how to approach unparliamentary statements coming from the PM. The AIMIM Chief also stated that PM Modi keeps mentioning the word “jihad” and questioned what exactly it mean.
Owaisi stated “If the PM says Muslims are ghuspaithiyon (infiltrators), their women give birth to more children, which is a complete lie, and the mangalsutra of Hindu women will be taken and given away, he is creating hatred and suspicion about the biggest minority of this country,”
Earlier in April, taking strong exception to Modi’s “ghuspaithiya” remark, the AIMIN chief stated
, “the real infiltrators are the Chinese troops which have been occupying so much of our territory in Ladakh and other places. If the Prime Minister has the courage, he should drive them out.”
On 1st May 2024, he also claimed that the situation of Muslims living in India was similar to that of Jews in Germany in Adolf Hitler’s era. Owaisi told ANI, “The position of Muslims in today’s India is the same as the situation which Jews witnessed or experienced during Hitler’s era in the 1930s. The gas chamber was the last step; before that movies were made, hate speeches took place, there was a whole process to it”
