"BJP, Sangh Parivar and their organisations in the whole country are going to the court that there should be digging here and there. They are saying this is not a mosque; that is not a dargah... If the Prime Minister wants, all this will stop. For the last ten years, there has been a BJP government and Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister... Conflict has erupted over more than 7 mosques and dargahs in Uttar Pradesh, where the BJP is in power and from where the Prime Minister is an MP. Nothing is going to happen by sending a chadar..." said Owaisi.

Reacting to China building two counties in Ladakh, Owaisi said, "The centre is scared of China. They just need money from China for investment."


Speaking on Sambhal violence, Owaisi said, "The administration there is openly opposing a particular community. You need to ensure justice and not oppress them. Is there any permit granted to establish police check post."
