AIMIM MLA and leader of the House in Telangana Assembly, Akbaruddin Owaisi has once again created a stir in the political circles with his outspoken attitude. During the discussion on voter list and voting rights of citizens, Owaisi took a strong stand and said that India is not anyone’s private property, but it belongs to every citizen who is born here and is connected to its soil.
During the proceedings of the Assembly, Akbaruddin Owaisi raised the issue of discrepancies in the electoral process and voter list on Tuesday (January 6, 2026). He demanded from the government that no eligible voter should be deprived of his right to vote.

AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi said, ‘Whoever is an urban citizen of this country and is eligible to vote, his rights should not be taken away. We are not saying that any Pakistani or Bangladeshi should be given the right to vote, but removing the name of an Indian citizen from the list will not be tolerated.
In his address, Owaisi, citing an old investigation conducted in Bihar, said that not a single Muslim was found there who was of foreign origin. Terming it as political propaganda, he said that it is wrong to spread hatred in the name of Hindu-Muslim and question the citizenship of people.
Complete transparency should be maintained during SIR of voter list – Owaisi
He said in a sharp tone, ‘This country belongs to everyone. It is of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and also of those who do not believe in any God. No one is the only contractor in this country. This country is not someone’s father’s property to run as he wants.
Owaisi urged the Telangana government and concerned authorities to maintain complete transparency during the voter list revision (SIR). He emphasized that Muslims were, are and will always be an integral part of this country. Questioning their loyalty is not only unconstitutional but also against the unity of the country.
