Charity begins at home, step aside, offer Hyderabad LS to...: BJP responds to Owaisi's 'hijab-wearing PM' wish

New Delhi: The BJP on Wednesday took a jibe at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi for his statement where he said that he wishes to see a hijab wearing Muslim girl as the Prime Minister of India. BJP’s Amit Malviya attacked Owaisi with an old say ‘charity begins at home’ and suggested that he should step aside and offer his Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat to Syeda Falak.

‘Becoming MP is first step towards becoming PM’

Hitting out at All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), Malviya said: “Asaduddin Owaisi wants to see a woman with hijab as India’s PM. Here is what Owaisi can do. Step aside and offer Hyderabad LS to Syeda Falak, an international sportswoman, hijabi and a member of AIMIM. Becoming MP is the first step towards becoming PM. Charity begins at home…”

I wish to see hijab-wearing girl as India's PM, says Asaduddin Owaisi

Referring to Rishi Sunak becoming non-White and first Hindu Prime Minister of the UK, Owaisi said: "They have their own democracy, they may change the PM. It is their problem. But there is a prohibition on wearing hijab. I have been telling, Inshallah, during my life or after my life there will be a situation where one hijab wearing girl will become India’s Prime Minister."

The AIMIM president also attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and said that it is against halal meat and other lifestyle aspects of Muslims.

He further alleged that the BJP is against Muslim's identity.

Owaisi also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of doing only "lip service" with his slogan of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas Sabka Vishwas'. He claimed that "the ground reality is completely different as BJP's agenda is to kill the pluralism of the country."
