NEW DELHI: Hitting out at the remarks made by AIMIM chief Asaduddin
Owaisi
on comparing situation of
Muslims
with Jews during the Hitler era, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Ajay Alok on Saturday said the Hyderabad MP is fearing his defeat in the Lok Sabha elections and has resorted to making such remarks.
Ajay Alok questioned as to how Owaisi is speaking so freely if the situation of Muslims is as similar as that of Jews during the Hitler era.
“Owaisi must tell that in how many Muslim countries is democracy prevailing? If it is the rule of Hitler, then how is he allowed to speak so freely? He knows about his imminent defeat in Hyderabad; that’s why he is making such remarks,” Ajay Alok told ANI.
Earlier, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that Muslim’s situation in today’s India is similar to that of the Jews in Germany during dictator Adolf Hitler’s era.
In an interview with ANI, Owaisi said, “The position of Muslims in today’s India is the same as the situation that Jews witnessed or experienced during Hitler’s era in the 1930s. The gas chamber was the last step; before those movies were made, hate speeches took place; there was a whole process to it.”
BJP leader Mohsin Raza said that Owaisi is the “biggest Hitler” and accused him of encroaching on the lands and properties of people.
“He needs to asses his area. He is the biggest Hitler in his area. Everyone says that he has encroached on the lands and properties of people. These are the properties of Mulsims. He is behaving like a Hitler,” Raza said.
Raza further said, “If anyone repeatedly talks about Hindu-Muslim, it is Asaduddin Owaisi Sahib. Muslims are safe in India. Development is taking place. Now his ‘Hitlerbazi’ is not working”.
