AIMIM Chief Owaisi criticizes Congress for Bajrang Dal ban promise in manifesto
Huballi: The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief, Asaduddin Owaisi, criticized the Congress party on Tuesday, stating that the party only makes promises during elections but fails to fulfill them later. He cited the example of the Babri Masjid demolition, where the Congress had promised to rebuild the mosque but failed to do so.
When the Babri Masjid was demolished, they resolved to rebuild a mosque there. What happened to that? Before elections, there are a lot of things that are said, but you can see what happens afterward..." said Owaisi.
Owaisi was responding to allegations made by the Congress that he was sent by the BJP to divide Muslim votes in the upcoming elections in Karnataka. The AIMIM chief dismissed these claims, stating that his party was contesting only two seats in the state. Referring to a Urdu saying Owaisi hit at the congress and said -”naach na jaane aangan tedha. That is their case,”
