All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday said that he wishes to see a woman with a hijab as the Prime Minister of India.
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi expressed his wish for a hijab-wearing girl to become Prime Minister of India one day.
Answering questions at a press conference in Vijayapura (Bijapur), Karnataka, during his campaign for the five party candidates running in the municipal corporation elections there, Owaisi stated that because one UK Prime Minister Liz Truss had failed to lift up the economy from crisis, her party made her step down from the position.
“They have their own democracy, and they can change the Prime Minister.” It is their issue. However, wearing a hijab is banned. “Inshallah, during my life or after my life, there will be a time when one hijab-wearing girl will become Prime Minister,” Owaisi remarked, referring to Sunak becoming the UK’s first Hindu Prime Minister.
Owaisi went on to level serious allegations against the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that the BJP’s true purpose is to eradicate India’s diversity and “Muslim identity.” “They believe that halal meat, Muslim skull caps, and beards pose a threat to them. They have issues with their eating habits. The party is truly opposed to Muslim identity,” the AIMIM chief said.
BJP’s National Spokesperson, Shehzad Poonawalla took to Twitter and asked the AIMIM chief if a Hijab-wearing girl can become the President of his party. “Owaisi ji hopes that a Hijab wearing girl becomes PM of India! Well, Constitution bars nobody but do tell us when will a Hijab wearing girl get to become President of AIMIM? Let us start with that?” he tweeted.
