Stoking a controversy, senior MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi today termed the RSS as a ‘club of bachelors’. Owaisi said that those who are not married themselves have no right to advocate producing more children.
RSS pracharaks would never marry. This is not RSS but a club of bachelors. They would never marry and (never) ready to take responsibilities, never face problem of life, never face problem of wife and children but advice others to produce four children. (sic)
-Akbaruddin Owaisi on the 57th formation day of the MIM
Owaisi asked all Muslims to be united while maintaining that his party would fight ‘communal politics’.
Without naming BJP leader Sakshi Maharaj, who had recently said that every Hindu woman must produce four children to protect the religion, MIM’s Floor Leader in Telangana Assembly Owaisi said that they should explain if there are sufficient resources to support the children in terms of providing them education and jobs.
If citizens produce not just four but 12 or 14 children, can you provide education, jobs, housing and other facilities? They don’t give the people jobs or education. They cannot even provide toilets, but they want people to produce four children.
-Akbaruddin Owaisi, MIM Leader
He said that the country was passing though a sensitive phase.
“All Muslims should unite to fight for their rights. If they are not united, there is a possibility that our identity will be in danger,” he warned.
Owaisi also said that his party was ready to spread its wings to other states like West Bengal, Bihar and Karnataka.
He ridiculed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for gifting a copy of ‘Bhagwad Gita’ to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during his visit there. Owaisi said that if Modi is secular he should have presented the Indian Constitution.
