New Delhi, June 19 (KPN): Hyderabad MP and the President of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen Asaduddin Owaisi, taking a swipe at the Indian government amid violent protests against the new military recruitment plan \u2018Agnipath\u2019, asked how many protesters\u2019 homes will be razed by bulldozers now.<\/p>\n
Mr Owaisi, who leads the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), made the remark against the backdrop of the action against those who engineered protests over BJP leader, Nupur Sharma\u2019s remarks on Prophet Muhammad last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey (youngsters) are on the streets due to (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi\u2019s wrong decision. How many (protesters\u2019) homes will be razed by bulldozers? We don\u2019t want you to demolish anyone\u2019s home,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Owaisi quoted a senior police officer of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, saying that the protesters are like children and need to be counselled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to ask him, aren\u2019t Muslims your children? We are also this country\u2019s children. You talk to us, you should have spoken to us last Friday,\u201d the Hyderabad MP said.<\/p>\n
Protests against the remarks on the Prophet had broken out in several parts of the country after Friday prayers.<\/p>\n
Mr Owaisi went on to refer to the demolition of the home of Javed Mohammed \u2014 the main accused in the \u2018violence\u2019 in Prayagraj during the protests. Javed Mohammed is the father of JNU student leader Afrin Fatima.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfrin Fatima\u2019s home was demolished. Why? Because his father took part in a demonstration. Principle of natural justice is part of the Constitution\u2019s basic framework. The court can punish him, not his wife and daughter. Is this your justice,\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
Taking a swipe at the BJP, Mr Owaisi said Nupur Sharma, who was suspended by the party over her remarks on the Prophet, will soon be made a \u201cbig leader\u201d and may even be nominated as the party\u2019s Delhi Chief Minister candidate.<\/p>\n
\u201cNupur Sharma should be arrested and action should be taken against her according to the law of India. We wanted action as per the Constitution. I know that Nupur Sharma will be made a big leader in the coming six-seven months. It is also possible that Nupur Sharma will be made the Delhi CM candidate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the reality of our nation. The more you abuse Muslims, the higher post you will find,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
