The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi has demanded that the CAA and NRC should be withdrawn at the earliest. If not scrapped, protesters will ‘turn streets of UP into Shaheen Bagh”.
“CAA is against the Constitution. If the BJP government does not take back this law, we will come out on the streets and another Shaheen Bagh will come up here,” Owaisi said, addressing a public meeting in Barabanki on Sunday evening.
Owaisi attacked Prime Minister Modi for his anti-citizen laws. “Prime Minister Modi is the biggest ‘nautankibaaz’ in the country, and by mistake, he has entered politics, else what would have happened to the people of the film industry. All the awards would have been won by Modi,” Owaisi said.
The AIMIM chief claimed that PM Modi announced the repeal of the farm laws to appease farmers in view of the upcoming Assembly elections.
The AIMIM chief called on the Muslim voters to unite and said, “When Thakurs, Brahmins, Yadavs, Kurmis can become strong by uniting, why can’t you?”
He further hit out at the BJP government and held them responsible for the backwardness and unemployment of the Muslim community.
He said, “Today the Ansari community and Qureshi community are on the verge of ruin in UP. The government has left them unemployed. Meat shops of the Qureshi community were locked. Slaughter houses have closed. The income of weavers has decreased. The government is just pretending. No work has been done for this society.”
