AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owai on Monday took strong exception to the stereotyping of Muslims in a speech by Prime Minister Narendra Modi the day before.
Addressing an election rally in Bihar, the Hyderabad MP said he would like to conduct a 바카라post mortem" examination on Modi바카라s speech in Rajasthan where the PM had torn into the Congress manifesto, raking up an old remark of his predecessor Manmohan Singh.
바카라Modi said Muslims have more children. That is a lie. Fertility rate has declined in the community and, according to official data, it is 2.36 per cent. Though, admittedly, the fertility rate is lower among our Hindu brethren,바카라 Owaisi told the rally in Purnea district.
Alleging that the prime minister 바카라told a lie, as he has always done바카라 at the Banswara rally, Owaisi said the remarks were 바카라divisive바카라.
He said, 바카라Going by Modi바카라s logic, the southern states may start agitating over having fewer MPs in Parliament, just because population growth is less rapid there, though these states contribute more to the GDP than the north바카라.
The AIMIM chief said 바카라I may be taunted for having six children. But what about Modi, who has six siblings and his party colleagues like Amit Shah and Ravi Shankar Prasad, both of whom were born in large families?바카라
Owaisi also condemned the use of the word 바카라ghuspaithiye바카라 (infiltrators) by Modi, saying it was an 바카라insult바카라 to the people living in the Seemanchal region of Bihar that lies close to Bangladesh and Nepal, and claimed that in Parliament, the government has repeatedly failed to furnish data on illegal immigrants.
The AIMIM chief also said, 바카라The Prime Minister indulges in dog-whistling against Muslims in his own country while holding his counterparts in places like Dubai in a warm embrace, with greetings of Ya Habibi (my dear)!바카라
Claiming that many attempts have been made in this country to finish off Muslims, he said the British tried this and "we drove them out".
"In the riots that took place in Bhagalpur, Muslims were slaughtered and crops were grown on their graves. Yet, the community is still surviving in that city.
바카라Modi should also remember the example of his home state of Gujarat where Muslims have survived the genocide that took place under his watch,바카라 alleged Owaisi.
The AIMIM has said it will be contesting over a dozen seats in Bihar..
Its state unit chief and MLA Akhtarul Iman is in the fray from the Muslim-majority Kishanganj constituency, parts of which fall in Purnea.
