Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s veiled “threat” to Muslims over Ayodhya has evoked a sharp reaction from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president and MP Asaduddin Owaisi.
After Singh described the Indian Muslims descendants of Ram and warned that if Muslims don’t support Ram temple in Ayodhya at the place where Babri Masjid was demolished, Owaisi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s thinking was at work behind Singh’s talk.
In a statement issued in Hyderabad, Owaisi said, “Giriraj is merely parroting what was taught. He is reading the script which was given to him from the Prime Minister’s office.”
Condemning the inflammatory remarks of the Minster, Owaisi in a strong attack said that Modi was trying to cause a big fire across India before 2019 elections. “When he was the Chief Minister of Gujrat he did not stop the blood shedding. Now he wants India to burn”, he said asking whom he was trying to frighten with such statements.
Owaisi also alleged that Narendar Modi was challenging India’s constitution and rule of law and wanted to spread anarchy in India. He referred to the report of the United Nations that the hatred and violence against minorities was increasing in India.
Prime Minister Modi is responsible for tarnishing the name of India.
Referring to the infighting in the CBI, Owaisi said that it was civil war like situation with in the central government agency and the central government was helpless and weak. When the No. 1 man in CBI has lodged FIR against the No. 2, the question will arise who was fighting against corruption. He said situation was so bad that one half of Enforcement Directorate was with one half of the CBI and the other half of ED was with the Research and Analysis Wing, the counter intelligence agency. He said that infighting was also on within the office of the Prime Minister.
