Whose religious faith is being hurt?- Owaisi
Owaisi asked, ‘Whose religious sentiments are being affected if I eat biryani? It’s not happening to anyone, right? Dirty sewage falls into the entire Ganga. Then you are not in pain. My kids are wearing life jackets. He is a young man and said he will go in a boat. Will break the fast. You booked a case against him. There are children in jail.
Owaisi said, ‘Hey, his only crime is that he is a Muslim. No one is concerned about the huge sewerage that is coming and falling. There is no concern about the big boats that sail and the daily activities that people do. Tell them that they are only Muslims, they have been put in jail. This is your justice, BJP people tell me. And you talk about Pasmanda Muslims, among them all the children are Saifis. Pasmanda is a Muslim. They are from Uttar Pradesh, who have been treated unfairly.
Why liquor shops were not closed for the entire month of Ramzan: Owaisi
Referring to a video, the Hyderabad MP said that in the children’s video, if someone said that there is Alamgir Mosque, then asked them how to take the name of the mosque. Hey Baba, the name of that mosque is Alamgir Masjid. Before your father’s father’s grandfather was born, it was Alamgir Masjid. She will be there at the time of Doomsday. But you asked how he said it in the video. My dear friends and relatives, religious sentiments are getting influenced in everything. Our festival is coming, the beef shop is closed, the egg shop is closed. Bring the money and give us it.
Owaisi said that the work of Khuraish community is to trade in beef. Yours is a religious issue, it was the month of Ramzan, tell me why all the liquor shops were not closed? The liquor shop had to be closed. No, but liquor shops will remain open, I cannot break the fast. Will my religious sentiments not be affected? Stop it then. My house, I would say hotel is closed, will you close it? There was a time in Hyderabad hotels, whether Hindu or Muslim, there was half curtain. But due to the circumstances of the times, that too came to an end.
