AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday hit out at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat over his ‘three children’ remark, urging him not to burden women with such advice.
“Why are you trying to burden Indian women who may have their own priorities? Who are you to interfere in people’s family lives?” Owaisi said in an interview with a news agency, accusing the RSS of spreading “anti-Muslim hatred.”
Bhagwat had earlier stated that every Indian family should have three children to maintain population balance, while asserting that the RSS does not believe in attacking anyone on religious grounds.
Targeting the ruling BJP, Owaisi also demanded the political retirement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. “We must retire them politically by ensuring the BJP doesn’t return to power. That is how we defeat them,” he said.
TMC MP Mahua Moitra’s blazing remarks on Shah
Owaisi’s comments came as a reaction to the TMC MP Mahua Moitra’s remarks on Shah.
Moitra sparked a major row with her sharp attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, saying he should be held accountable for failing to curb the infiltration of illegal Bangladeshi migrants into India. She alleged that it was the failure of Shah’s Home Ministry to check infiltration and accused him of shifting the blame onto the TMC.
Reacting to Moitra’s comment, Owaisi condemned her remarks and stated that it is unjust to use ‘violence’ against the leader. Talking to ANI, he said, “I don’t know in what context the TMC MP made such a statement. We have and we will continue to take pride in differences with Mr Amit Shah. But can we use violence against Amit Shah? I don’t think so…I think she (TMC MP) is better to throw more light on that (her reported statement). But yes, we must oppose the BJP, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. We must retire them politically. We must not give them the opportunity; they will decide when to leave politics. We must go to the Indian people, take more of them into confidence, so that the next time the BJP doesn’t win the election. That is how we retire them and defeat them.”
Infiltration is a major flashpoint in the run-up to the 2026 Assembly polls.
