Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday said action against suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her alleged derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad should have been taken 10 days ago. He said he had sought action against the spokesperson while addressing a public meeting at Bhiwandi.
The BJP took action as the issue was getting escalated in Gulf countries, he said. You should have taken action 10 days before. When, I, as an Indian citizen, I am a Muslim, we are demanding that you take action, you don't take action. Why the Prime Minister has not taken action.
Is Asaduddin Owaisi's demand, voice is less than that of a leader of a foreign country, he told reporters here. You are my Prime Minister. You should listen to me. You want to make leaders of foreign countries happy, he said, asking as to who will listen to "our" pain.
Twenty crore Indian Muslims' religious beliefs were insulted. Rather than addressing their concerns, Modi et al were more afraid of a foreign backlash. Very unfortunate, he tweeted earlier. Owaisi claimed suspension of the spokesperson from party is not enough and that she should be arrested.
