Isro scientists will be amazed, mocks Owaisi on reports of UP govt's 'mobile on back' test to determine Bangladeshi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) national president Asaduddin Owaisi on has criticised the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh, during a press conference held in Amravati.

He referred to recent reports that claimed people's identities were being determined through mobile phones. Owaisi said that the UP government should be "congratulated" for the new "invention" to determine whether a person is Bangladeshi by placing a mobile phone on their back.




Owaisi sarcastically said that even leading scientists and ISRO would be surprised by this "technology."

He questioned whether citizenship and identity in India would now be determined by mobile phones. He said that such actions were not only ridiculous but also against both the law and the Constitution.

Furthermore, Owaisi claimed that after a mosque, the administration has now taken bulldozer action against madrasas, which are being termed illegal, in Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal district. He alleged that the government is acting arbitrarily in the name of bulldozer action and misusing the law.

He alleged that the government is targeting a particular community and using the bulldozer as a political weapon. However, the administration says that the action is being taken only against illegal constructions and there is no discrimination against any community.

The AIMIM chief alleged that such manoeuvres are creating an atmosphere of fear among the public and arbitrariness in the name of law and order. He demanded that the government adhere to constitutional and legal procedures on serious issues like identity and citizenship.

He levelled serious allegations against the Modi government and the ruling parties regarding electoral politics. He stated that first, there was the issue of vote theft, and now candidates are being "stolen."

He alleged that in many places, candidates are being forced to withdraw their nominations through intimidation, threats, or bribery, which is a very dangerous trend for democracy.

Owaisi said that if voters are not provided with a candidate of their choice, the very foundation of democracy will be weakened. He also said that this process directly violates the public's right to vote, reducing elections to a mere formality.

On the BMC elections, Owaisi said, "If elections are being held unopposed anywhere through intimidation, threats, or bribery, then it is a threat to our democracy."

Owaisi appealed to political parties to keep constitutional obligations and social harmony in mind when making statements on issues like elections and population.

Owaisi raised several serious questions about the central government's foreign policy and security strategy. He said that after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India took a tough stance and tightened its water-related agreements against Pakistan, but despite this, there was no hesitation in playing against Pakistan in international cricket tournaments.

Calling this a "double standard," Owaisi asked why normal relations are being pursued on the playing field while issuing strong statements on terrorism.

Speaking on the Bangladesh issue, Owaisi said that a clear and transparent policy should be formulated regarding illegal Bangladeshi nationals living in India. Those living illegally should be deported through legal procedures, but the entire process should be in accordance with the Constitution and human values. He said that political stability in Bangladesh is crucial for the security and development of India, especially the northeastern states.

Owaisi also said that increased strategic activities by China near the Bangladesh border and the presence of elements linked to Pakistan's intelligence agency are matters of concern. He stressed that these issues should be viewed not merely from a political perspective but in the broader context of national security.
