Hyderabad: President of Majlis-e-Itehadul Muslimeen and Member of Parliament from Hyderabad Asaduddin Owaisi lambasted Gujarat chief minister and BJP poll campaign chief Narendra Modi in a massive public meeting organized by the party on the eve of 5th death anniversary of former party president and stalwart politician Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi.
Huge crowd turned up for the meeting as MIM since Ramzan was mobilizing cadres for the gathering as the day in their own words when ‘Sher ka Bacha Kutte ke Bache ka Jawab de ga’ (tigers cub will reply to puppy). The star speaker of the party was Akbaruddin Owaisi who after creating controversy with his alleged hate speeches was silent since getting out on bail in February.
Asaduddin Owaisi addressing the meeting
However, Akbaruddin Owaisi played safe and didn’t concentrate much on Modi issue, apart from mocking him on frequent intervals he stressed more on issues confronting Muslims nationally and internationally.
Elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi at the near end of the program took the lead and made an all-out attack on Narendra Modi.
He criticized Modi and equally the Congress for providing BJP’s potential PM candidate political space for a rise, “Congressi should have questioned Modi on his tall claims about Gujarat in his last week public meeting, but every Congressi has their tongue chewed up in cheek.”
Asaduddin Owaisi taunted Telugu Desam Party chief Chandra Babu Naidu on recent media reports that he is getting close to Modi, “Modi has made some praises for NTR and here Naidu became Modi’s fan. Did Naidu forget how he snatched CM chair from NTR? Cycle (TDP) should not go along with Lotus (BJP) otherwise your fate of 2004 will be repeated.”
Asaduddin Owaisi also got into a heave with the Congress union minister and mega star turn politician Chirnajeevi, “Chiranjeevi’s nephew and brother in law, both of them met ‘Kutte ka Bacha’, I mean the man who called us Kutte Ka Bacha.” Then he dared Chiranjeevi on his proposal of Union territory status for Hyderabad calling him a ‘kid’ in politics, “If Hyderabad is to be made Union territory than such a protest will happen that no one has witnessd in the democratic history of India. Chrianjeevi you are still a kid in politics.”
Mocking at Modi’s speech in Hyderabad, Mr. Owaisi said, “He drank four glass of water during his speech, someone messaged me that Modi must have seen Akbar’s photo before giving his speech.”
Taking a dig at Modi’s speech Owaisi demanded answer on his claim that he would have dealt strictly on killing of Indian army men on LOC, “We condemn strongly the killing of our Jawans by Pakistan, but he made politics on their killing during his speech saying he would have dealt strictly, Modi should have explained what he means by strictly. We remembers his former Lauh Purush (iron man) L.K. Advani who after parliament attack mobilized 10 lakh Indian troops on border, and finally brought them back after leaving many young men dead in harsh winter. Modi should have explained how differently he was to be from his former mentor in dealing up with Pakistan.”
At the peak of his Modi bashing Asaduddin Owaisi in his full charged voice challenged Narrendra Modi for an open debate, “Modi is challenging an old man for debate, what are you challenging PM for, I challenge you for open debate on your policies and tall claims.”
Asaduddin Owaisi than again criticized Congress Government for allowing Narendra Modi to roam around free in the country while he is stopped from entering neighboring states, “Malegaon collector wrote a love letter to me not allowing my entry on the eve of Shab-e-Barat stating I am threat to peace, as if it was me who planted bomb in Malegaon? As if it was us who fired at innocents in Dhule? During Ramzan they won’t allow us, come 15th August they won’t allow us. While Modi is free to roam across India. Are we not citizens of this country?”
He accused the administration of bias, “Establishment is stopping us from holding public meetings as they don’t have guts to listen to Muslim opposition against them.”
He said today police is stopping him from entering neighboring districts but time will come when his party will enter in Gujarat, “We went in Malegaon, we will go to Nandurbar, from there next destination is Gujarat.”
Asaduddin Owaisi also cautioned Muslims from so called secular parties who will come out just before the election to beg for their votes. He slammed Akhilesh Yadav Government in UP for what he called its hypocrisy. “You can feel sad and dismiss an IAS officer for demolition of mosque wall, but when a Muslim youth (Kahlid Mujahid) gets killed in your police custody you went silent, his relatives are sitting for past 100 days outside UP assembly demanding justice have you gone blind,” he alleged.
Paying tribute to his father Mr. Owaisi said his father was committed man who laid a base for Muslim political leadership 55 years back when people use to laugh at the concept of Muslim political identity.
Than he again went after Modi, “My father didn’t do politics for Note and Vote as done by our ‘Kutte ka Bacha’ I mean the man who said Kutta ka Bacha.”
In the election mood Asaduddin Owaisi repeatedly appealed Muslims to increase their turn out percentage during polling dates; he said if Muslims vote participation increase his party is hopeful of winning 9 seats in Telengana and 2 in Rayalseema regions. He added that his party is not against any religion, but only against the ideology of Sangh Parivar which want to crush the rights of Muslims in India.
Winding up his speech he again take knock at Modi’s Obama invocation and made the crowd chant ‘No, we can’t. We will not. Say no to Modi, no to BJP.’
