Owaisi accuses BJP-led Assam govt of doing divisive politics, targeting Muslim minorities

Hojai: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Asaduddin Owaisi accused BJP led government of persuing divisive politics and targeting Muslim minorities.

The Hydrabad MP is campaigning for AIUDF. Attacking Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, he said,“Did I make a video of Muslims being killed on social media? Did I say Muslims will be evicted? Did I say I would break their spines? I did not say any of this. I do not create controversy, the Chief Minister of Assam does. We want to strengthen people’s faith in the Constitution,” Owaisi told mediapersons.

Reacting to BJP's claim that AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal can never become Chief Minister, Owaisi said the debate should not be reduced to individual ambition. “The issue is not about Ajmal’s personal ambition. It is about ensuring that the poor and the oppressed get their constitutional rights and a voice in the Assembly,” he said,


Owaisi also criticised the state government’s eviction drives, alleging that due process was not being followed. He said any action related to detection and deportation must adhere strictly to legal procedures and principles of natural justice.

He said, "There is a proper process. You cannot act as judge, jury and executioner. The Constitution must be followed,” he said, accusing the BJP of “breaking homes and scattering lives”.

The AIUDF has fielded candidates in 30 constituencies, and Owaisi expressed confidence that the party will through a big challenge to the BJP if it receives adequate public support.

Owaisi, addressed multiple rallies across Barpeta, Darrang, Morigaon, Nagaon and Hojai districts as part of the party’s campaign ahead of the April 9 Assembly elections.
