Lucknow: The entry of AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh elections has intensified the political rhetoric in the state. At the same time, Waseem Rizvi, former chairman of Shia Waqf Board, who is often in the headlines for his statements, has now compared Asaduddin Owaisi to the dreaded ISIS terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Supporting the recent statements given by the RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat regarding minorities, Wasim Rizvi said that the message given by Mohan Bhagwat for brotherhood and reconciliation of Hindu, Muslim and all other religions for peace and development, will not be liked by India's Baghdadi i.e. Asaduddin Owaisi.

Wasim Rizvi further said, "Owaisi is an Islamic Jihadi in India who does not understand the matter of love and talks about the killing of Hindus or conversion of Hindus and considers it his goal."

Earlier, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat, while addressing a program organised by the Muslim Rashtriya Manch on Sunday, said that the DNA of all Indians is one. Bhagwat said, "The DNA of all Indians is the same, regardless of religion." On lynching, Bhagwat said, "the people involved are against Hindutva and democracy cannot be dominated by Hindus or Muslims."

Meanwhile, Asaduddin Owaisi has retaliated against Mohan Bhagwat's statement by tweeting. Owaisi wrote, "RSS's Bhagwat said lynching is anti-Hinduism. These criminals would not know the difference between a cow and a buffalo, but Junaid, Akhlaq, Pehlu were enough to kill. This is the hatred of Hindutva. These criminals have the backbone of the Hindutva government."

He further wrote, "cowardice, violence and murder are an integral part of Godse's Hindutva thinking. The lynching of Muslims is also the result of this thinking."
