‘Disco with China’: Owaisi hits back at PM Modi over ‘mujra’ remark
New Delhi: The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi took a jibe at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his ‘mujra’ remark, using the metaphors of other dance forms like ‘disco’, ‘Bhangra’ and ‘Bharatanatyam’.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Asaduddin Owaisi made the comments while addressing a rally in Bihar’s Patliputra Lok Sabha seat. The Hyderabad MP recalled PM Modi’s speech in the same locality the day before, when the PM had slammed opposition parties over reservation to Muslims by saying that they can perform ‘mujra’ for Muslims if it pleases them.
“Is this the type of language the prime minister should use? Does Modi think we do not have the faculty of speech?” said the fiery orator before launching an all-out attack.
“About 2,000 square kilometres of Indian territory has been captured by the Chinese. Modi has done nothing about that. I would like to ask whether he was doing disco dance on the issue,” Owaisi said.
The AIMIM chief added, “Now that the PM has said that he is not biological, the only thing that remains to be said by him is that he is God and deserved to be worshipped. So much for his earlier posturing of being a chowkidar who wanted to bring good days (achche din).”
Owaisi also targeted filmmakers for producing works like ‘Kashmir Files’ and ‘Kerala Story’ and compared them to the propaganda machinery of Hitler “who vilified Jews, questioned their patriotism, spread hatred for their practices, and finally forced millions of them into gas chambers”.
The Hyderabad MP also said, “Modi says that in his next term he will bring the Uniform Civil Code. It will be a nationwide replication of what has happened in BJP-ruled Uttarakhand where ‘nikaah’ is not being recognised and Muslims are being forced to take recourse to the Special Marriage Act.”
