Majlis-e-Ittehadul Musalmeen (MIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi exhorted the Dalits and Muslims to come under one flag to capture power in the State with the ultimate objective of capturing the throne of Delhi. The MIM leader also launched scathing attack on the Samajwadi Party chief MUlayam Singh Yadav and questioned his secular credentials. He was addressing his second election meeting at Sohawal in Bikapur assembly seat going to by polls on February 13.
Owaisi reminding the dalits about the treatment meted out to Dr Ambedkar during his life time said “today all the political parties led and controlled by the upper castes are vying for the support of the dalits since they have realized the electoral strength of the community, but the same people and same party humiliated Baba Sahab since he was an untouchable’’.
“Dr Ambedkar narrated a tale where he used to say that during his childhood when he needed water the upper caste people used to pour the water in his hands from a distance. Even today these people who claim to work for upliftment of dalits and Muslims are actually feeding us the same way. We will no longer allow them to give us water 'upar se daal ke' we will take water with our own hands’’, said Owaisi.
“Exhorting the dalits and the muslims to join hands, MIM leader said “the upper castes rule the roost since we are divided so out of power structure and we continue to be used by them for their benefit. let’s capture power and be master of our own destiny’’. said Owaisi.
