BJP criticises Owaisi
Slamming Owaisi for his comment, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla hit out at Owaisi and asked when the AIMIM would have a hijab-clad woman as its party chief.
“They think they have danger from halal meat, Muslims’ caps, and their beards. They have problems with their food habits. The party is actually against Muslim identity,” ANI quoted Owaisi as saying. He further alleged that BJP’s real agenda was to end India’s diversity. “PM’s words ‘Sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas’ are empty rhetoric. BJP’s real agenda is to end India’s diversity and Muslim identity,” Owaisi added.

UP stronghold
Analysts say Owaisi is seeking to gain a stronghold in Uttar Pradesh’s politics. AIMIM is planning to contest all the seats in future elections in the state, according to Uttar Pradesh AIMIM president Shaukat Ali, as reported by ANI. Ali also claimed that many leaders of the Samajwadi Party will join the Asaduddin Owaisi-led party in the future.
“The people are coming towards AIMIM now. We are contesting in East UP, Purwanchal, Central UP, and Bundelkhand. Leaders of the Samajwadi Party will join MIM. The 2017 elections were polarised by the BJP through the media. The Muslims thought that the Samajwadi Party could defeat the BJP. Since independence, the Muslims have always supported secular forces to defeat the BJP,” he said.
