New Delhi: In a recent development, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday took a jibe at warmth with which Kanwariyas are being greeted. He said if they are showered with petals, then the authorities should at least spare Muslims from bulldozing their houses.
He also shared several news reports about the Kanwar Yatra, Owaisi said, “If a Muslim offers prayers in an open place even for a few minutes, it leads to a row. Muslims are facing police bullets, custodial clashes, NSA, UAPA, lynching’s, bulldozers just for being Muslims.”
पुलिस ने पंखुड़ियां बौछार कीं, कांवड़ियों का झंडों से “इस्तक़बाल” किया, उनके पैरों पर लोशन लगाया और उनके साथ इंतेहाई शफ़क़त से पेश आए। @DelhiPolice ने लोहारों को हटाने की बात की, ताकि कांवड़िया नाराज़ न हो जाएं, उ.प्र हुकूमत ने यात्रा के रास्तों पर गोश्त पर पाबंदी लगा दी। 1/n https://t.co/17cH4tvQUO
