New Delhi: Launching a scathing attack at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said PM Modi never has anything to say about the issue of rising fuel price and the threat posed by the Chinese aggression at the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
PM Modi never speaks on two things — rise in petrol and diesel prices and China sitting in our territory in Ladakh. PM is afraid of speaking on China,” said Owaisi at a public meeting in Hyderabad on Monday.
“When Pakistan attacked Pulwama, PM Modi said ‘ghar me ghuske marenge’ (we will hit the enemy inside their territory). Now China is sitting in our backyard and he is doing nothing,” he charged.

He also slammed Centre’s silence over the recent killing of JRO officers and soldiers along with several civilians in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Our nine soldiers died [in J&K] and on October 24, India-Pakistan T20 match will happen,” the AIMIM president jibed.
Earlier, Owaisi had questioned PM Modi’s silence over the Lakhimpur Kheri violence and the atrocities committed against minorities in the BJP-rules said.
Petrol and diesel prices have reached an all-time high on Sunday. The price of a litre of petrol now costs ₹105.84 in Delhi, while diesel costs ₹94.57 per litre. Around 60 per cent of the price of fuel is attributed to several central and state taxes, which keep the prices on the higher side.
