Asaduddin Owaisi responds to Modi’s ‘Speed breaker’ jibe at AIMIM; says "yes we proudly own it"
Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittihadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President and MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday replied to the Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Speed breaker’ jibe at his party, which the prime minister took at a rally recently in Telangana.
Modi had said recently that his government was trying to speed up the developmental work and infrastructure in the Hyderabad but its pace of development was being hampered by a ‘speed breaker’ named Majlis taking a cue at the AIMIM.
Owaisi, who was addressing a party rally, added that the party proudly owns the tag of ‘Speed breaker’ as it hampers the speed of those trying to break the unity among communities.
“Yes we are definitely a speed breaker. We are speed breaker for those who want to break the unity between Hindu and Muslims, we are speed breaker against those who will not give justice to SC, ST and minority communities, we are speed breaker against those who are against the composite culture of this country” he said.
He later shared a part of the video of his speech on his official twitter handle and captioned it “This is Hyderabad, yahan aap ko daudne ki ijaazat nahi hai” (This is Hyderabad; you cannot escape here)".
@PMOIndia, you called Majlis a 'speed breaker' & we proudly own it. We're a speed breaker against anyone who wants to destroy our Constitution & tehzeeb.

Earlier, Asaduddin’s brother Akbaruddin also took a dig at PM Modi’s statement in a video that was widely being shared on social media. He said that the constituency where Modi was terming the AIMIM to be a speed breaker, in that very constituency institutions like DRDO is located. “He takes credit of scientists shooting down live satellite, but he forgets that the research for that was done from this constituency” he said.

Put petty politics aside; it's not about one party, but India: Rahul on TMC's loss in polls
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Bengal and Assam assembly polls a "theft" of the mandate, and a big step forward in the saffron party's mission to "destroy" Indian democracy.
Gandhi also came out in support of the TMC, which has been trounced by the BJP in the polls, and urged those gloating over the loss of Mamata Banerjee's party to put petty politics aside.
"Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC's loss.They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal's mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy," Gandhi said in a post on X.
"Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about India," he said in his post.
The BJP ousted Trinamool Congress from power in Bengal and captured power for the third time in a row in Assam in results of assembly polls declared on Monday.
