MIM dividing Muslim votes to help TRS: BJP MP

Hyderabad: BJP has charged MIM with trying to polarise Muslim voters in favour of TRS ahead of the municipal polls.

The party MP from Nizamabad, Dharmapuri Arvind slammed the TRS government for according permission to MIM to hold a public meeting in Nizamabad and also sending one of the TRS MLAs Mohammed Shakeel to attend the meeting.

“Indians do not need to learn what is secularism from Asaduddin Owaisi. Owaisi is opposing CAA, NPR and NRC because details of fathers and grandfathers are proposed to be sought as per the exercise. Asaduddin Owaisi’s father was Sultan Salahuddin, his grandfather Abdul Wahed Owaisi and his great grandfather Tulsi Ram Das. Owaisi is scared that this reality will come to the fore with the implementation of the citizenship Act,” Arvind said.

BJP state president K Laxman asked Owaisi to read history. “BJP is not ‘tukde tukde gang’ to divide the nation,” he said.
