Muslims population will never surpass Hindus in India: Owaisi
Hyderabad (PTI): AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has said that Muslims will never surpass the Hindu population in India.
Addressing a rally at Nizamabad on Friday night ahead of the municipal polls in Telangana, the Hyderabad MP said he was listening to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's (recent) speech in the Rajya Sabha wherein he said that the population of the entire world is ageing while India's population is young.
If the Prime Minister was asked if 60 per cent of the country's population is aged under 40, then what (measures) he (Modi) did for their jobs, and what skills have been taught to them, the AIMIM chief asked.

"After 20 years, this young population will age. How much inflation and how much they need to spend we don't think of it. Instead, they say the population of Muslims is growing...Muslim population will stabilise. Muslims will never exceed the Hindu population in India.
"They are now understanding that after 25-30 years, the country's population will age. RSS (chief) Mohan Bhagwat says to give birth to at least three children. Though he himself is not doing, that's another matter," Owaisi said.
Earlier, it was said a bill would be brought for population control and they used to criticise Muslims. Now they have realised that when the country's population ages how it will affect the nation, he said.
On Pakistan's boycott of their T20 World Cup match against India, Owaisi said India is hosting the T20 World Cup and that "useless" Pakistani team says they will not play the game against India. "You should have told them (Pakistan) why did you come here and go out from here, if you won't play. But you are sitting silently and listening," he said.
Owaisi further hit out at the Modi government, accusing it of remaining silent on China's (border) issue.

Assam Police at Pawan Khera's residence in national capital, Delhi Police assisting
New Delhi (PTI): An Assam Police team on Tuesday is at the Delhi residence of Congress leader Pawan Khera for questioning in connection with a case linked to allegations made against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family, official sources said.
The team formally informed Delhi Police upon arrival, following which a local police team joined and is assisting in the proceedings, the source said.
The development comes amid a political tussle after Sarma alleged that the Congress used "false information" sourced from a Pakistani social media group to level charges against his wife regarding multiple passports and overseas assets. He termed the allegations an attempt to influence the Assam elections and a punishable offence.
Khera had recently sought clarifications on Sarma's wife's alleged foreign assets, prompting a complaint and subsequent police action.
