India Belongs to Adivasis, Not to PM Modi: Asad Owaisi

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has said that ”India belongs to Adivasis”, and not to him, or Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing a rally in Bhiwandi town here in Maharashtra on Saturday evening, the Lok Sabha member also sought to know why Pawar pleaded with PM Modi for Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut and not state NCP minister Nawab Malik, who had been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case.

Coming down heavily on the BJP, Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress, he claimed that these parties want to protect their vote banks and hence, never react when members of the minority community are targeted. While the BJP and Prime Minister Modi are celebrating eight years of their successful rule in the country, they do not realize what agony the country is going through, he said, while citing inflation and other issues. “If India belongs to anyone, it’s the Adivasis (tribals)” contrary to claims of others, the All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader said. ”They (other parties) give an example of 600 years, but I give you an example of more than 65,000 years. The country does not belong to Thackeray, Pawar, Owaisi, Modi, or Shah, but Adivasis,” the AIMIM leader said.

When anyone criticizes CM Thackeray, Pawar, Modi, or Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, they (the respective party) react immediately and take action, ”but if we are criticized and comments passed against us, no no one reacts”, he said. Owaisi appealed to Muslims and others, including Dalits and OBCs, to understand that these ”so-called secular parties will never come to their assistance” as they are concerned only about their vote bank.
