Quotes
Asaduddin Owaisi
AIMIM chief and politician
“We are saying: make them citizens with rights... Even when you were in power, did the Muzaffarnagar incident not happen? You did nothing when you were in power. Now that you are not in power, you do not even open your mouth. This is the stark reality of today’s Indian politics, in our view: the Muslim community is being marginalized”

“This happened just yesterday, at 5 am. It is a matter of great misfortune and regret. Nothing is being done according to the law. On what basis was it demolished? Why are you doing this? You are not sparing the living, nor those who are no longer in this world.”
