AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday slammed Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over her assertion that Muslims in India are doing higher than these in Pakistan. The Hyderabad MP took to Twitter for some extent by level rebuttal to Sitharaman`s feedback made within the US on the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE), throughout a dialogue on the resilience and progress of the Indian financial system. “For Finance Minister of Vishwaguru, the benchmark is Pakistan! Muslims in India have flourished DESPITE the Sangh Parivar`s anti constitutional ideology, not BECAUSE of it,” wrote Owaisi.
“For how long are Muslims going to be connected to Pakistan? We are not hostages or mascots against Pakistan. We`re citizens. We want to be treated with dignity & justice. “If a piece of Hindus demand higher dwelling requirements, will you inform them to close up as a result of majority of individuals in Somalia are doing worse?” asked Owaisi. He pointed out that the ruling party does not have a single Muslim MP in Lok Sabha. “This is damning. But BJP carries it as a badge of honour.” The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader also found fault with Sitharaman for citing the increase in population of Muslims to deny that there was any discrimination. “Populations develop or degrow primarily based on demographic elements, not on the benevolence or malevolence of a Govt. However assume that Govt has a task, then census after census present a decline in progress of Muslim inhabitants in India. Would that imply that authorities is malevolent?” he requested.
“Population growth or decline is not the only measure of treatment of minorities. In today`s India Genocidal Dharam Sansads are ignored by govt; ruling party MPs call for economic boycotts & ask people to keep `weapons` Just one state of Maharashtra alone had 50 anti-Muslim hate rallies. The state looks away when Muslims face lynchings & violence. Instead, Muslims have to face bulldozers & false imprisonment from the govt,” wrote Owaisi. “Every piece of govt data points at abysmal state of Muslim education. Muslims lag behind in education due to high poverty. It`s a cruel joke that FM mentioned fellowships when govt stopped Maulana Azad Fellowship & restricted Pre & Post-Matric Scholarships for poor minorities.”
“Minority affairs budget has been slashed by 40%! In Karnataka, your party govt has run a campaign opposing hijab, removed poor Muslims` reservations in education & employment. Muslims` businesses have been targeted by govt policies AND by mob rule.” The FM says “law and order is a state issue” however the states the place Muslims have confronted the worst violence & discrimination are BJP-ruled. In non-BJP states, the primary culprits of violence are all associates of Sangh Parivar”, he wrote. Owaisi pointed out that tn Assam, Muslims are facing mass displacement in the name encroachments and, even in the capital city, genocidal slogans against Muslims have been raised. “From Bihar to Gujarat, Muslims have confronted horrible arson and violence.A This shouldn’t be petty “law and order” problem. You obtained indignant & demanded Modi`s image on some ration store in Telangana. Anti-Muslim violence positively deserves extra of your consideration than an image of Modi.”
