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.

Bantwal: Ex-soldier dies after casting vote at home
Bantwal, Apr 24: Madhava Prabhu, an 85-year-old resident of Wagga in Bantwal, exemplified unwavering commitment to his civic duty even in the face of illness.
Admitted to a private hospital here owing to his ailment, Prabhu, a former army officer and inspector of Malaria Eradication department, died without responding to treatment on Wednesday.
Amidst his illness, Prabhu was determined to exercise his right to vote, especially with the provision for home voting for those aged 85 and above.
With the doctor's permission, he left the hospital briefly to fulfil his sacred duty on Tuesday. However, fate had a cruel twist in store as Prabhu's condition worsened upon his return to the hospital.

Tragically, he passed away today, leaving behind his wife, two daughters, and sons.
Prabhu's life epitomizes dedication and service, from his tenure in the army to his role in the Malaria Eradication Department and his involvement in community affairs as vice president of the Multi-Purpose Co-operative Society.
His commitment to duty and his final act of voting serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of civic engagement, even in the most challenging circumstances.
