Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittihadul Muslimeen President, Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday termed Sumitra Mahajan’s term as the speaker of Lok Sabha as the ‘worst in the Chair’s history’.

In a tweet from his official twitter handle, Owaisi slammed Mahajan and said her tenure as the speaker weakened legislative accountability and allowed partisanship.

While replying to the a tweet of senior journalist Nikhil Wagle wherein he had added that Sumitra Mahajan accused ATS Chief Hemant Karkare of having close links with Digvijay Singh, Owaisi wrote “Remember, Madam held a constitutional post for 5 years, That didn’t prevent her from insulting the memory of a martyr”.

He went on to add that such things can be expected from RSS as they’ve never sacrificed anything for the country but have “wrote multiple love letters to British”.

In another tweet where he termed Mahajan’s tenure as the ;’worst in the Chair’s history’ he hoped that after 23rd May, there will be a speaker who respects separation of powers.
