Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Indian parliament member from Hyderabad, Asaduddin Owaisi, launched a scathing attack on BJP’s Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his continued hate speeches against Bengali-origin Muslims, commonly referred to as “Miya” Muslims in the state.
According to Global Mirror, speaking at a public rally in Nizamabad, Owaisi condemned Sarma’s remarks as rooted in fear and prejudice, asserting that no government can be run on such grounds. He stressed that the Indian Constitution guarantees equality to all citizens irrespective of religion or community, and no authority—including a chief minister—can violate this principle.
Highlighting discriminatory rhetoric, Owaisi cited Sarma’s statements blaming “Miya Muslims” for rising vegetable prices or telling voters to “go to Bangladesh.” He particularly mocked Sarma’s reported comment urging people to short-change Muslim auto-rickshaw drivers: if the fare is Rs 5, pay only Rs 4.
