Narendra Modi, Mamta Banerjee practicing same politics of communalism: Asaduddin Owaisi
Chennai: All India Majlis-e-Ittihadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and said she and Narendra Modi are practicing the same politics of communalism.
Speaking to media reporters at a Tamil Nadu Airport, Owaisi condemned Banerjee’s statement wherein she claimed that she was an upper-caste Hindu woman and said she belonged from Shandilya gotra.
“If she is proudly saying that she belongs to an upper-caste Brahman community and that her gotra is Shandilya, then where should Muslims and Dalits of West Bengal go? Muslims and Dalits are not part of this Verna system. That is why I condemn her statement” Owaisi told reporters adding that she is practicing the politics of communalism like Narendra Modi and BJP.
“I don’t find any difference between what she is saying in the election campaign and what the BJP is saying. Mamta Banerjee and Narendra Modi are made for each other,” he added.
Earlier in a Tweet, Owaisi had raised a similar question over Banerjee’s gotra remark asking where should people like him who aren’t Shandilya or Janeudhari and bhakts of certain gods go.
“What should happen to people like me who aren’t Shandilya or Janeudhari, aren’t bhakts of certain gods, don’t recite Chalisa or any Path? Every party feels that it has to show its Hindu credentials to win. Unprincipled, insulting & unlikely to succeed” Owaisi had written in the tweet.

23-year-old woman found dead at Delhi home; suicide suspected
New Delhi (PTI): A 23-year-old woman was found dead in her house in Delhi's Prem Nagar area, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide, an official said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Anjali Singh, was found motionless in her room on Monday by her sister and her neighbour.
Police said her father, Vinod Kumar Singh (51), told them that he and his wife were away at work at the time of the incident, while their son and the other daughter were also not at home at the time of the incident.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
