Asaduddin Owaisi, the AIMIM leader, has raised several questions once again, this time in the context of the grand inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. He asserts that the Babri Masjid demolition will always be etched in people’s memories.
Babri Legacy and Political Maneuvers
Owaisi strongly emphasizes that the Babri Masjid’s demolition on December 6 will forever be imprinted in the collective consciousness. He challenges the government’s attempt to turn it into a focal point for electoral gains, emphasizing the pressing issues of unemployment and inflation.
Mathura-Eidgah Controversy
Expressing a sharp reaction to the demand to declare Shahi Eidgah in Mathura as Krishna Mandir, Owaisi questions the government’s stance on the Places of Worship Act. He argues against opening contentious issues like these and warns against turning historical events into instruments of political manipulation.
Ayodhya Mosque and Legal Acknowledgment
Discussing the construction of a mosque near the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Owaisi points out that such a structure cannot be recognized as a mosque. He acknowledges the Supreme Court’s decision while emphasizing the need to understand the historical context of post-independence events.
Challenges to Uddhav Thackeray and Devendra Fadnavis
Owaisi takes a dig at former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. He questions their remarks on the Haji Malang Dargah, urging them to acknowledge the reality and consider the court’s decision.
Ram Mandir vs. Real Issues
Regarding the potential impact of the Ram Mandir issue in the 2024 elections, Owaisi argues that while the BJP might attempt to capitalize on it, the real concerns are unemployment and inflation. He dismisses the idea of prioritizing the Ram Mandir over these critical issues.
Muslim Representation in Parliament
Asaduddin Owaisi advocates for an increase in Muslim representation in Parliament, citing the need for fair political participation. He questions the low Muslim representation, highlighting the importance of diversity in political decision-making.
Opposition to CAA and NRC
Expressing strong opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), Owaisi emphasizes that these laws are discriminatory and threaten the rights of Muslims and Dalits. He pledges to continue opposing these measures.
Secularism and Citizenship in Question
Asaduddin Owaisi criticizes the CAA and NRC as laws that are against the principles of secularism. He argues that these legislations could be used against Muslims and Dalits, raising concerns about their citizenship rights.
Asaduddin Owaisi’s Vision: Inclusive Politics
Concluding his statements, Asaduddin Owaisi reiterates his vision for inclusive politics, emphasizing the need for equitable representation and protection of the rights of minority communities. He pledges to continue resisting policies that threaten the secular fabric of the nation.
By articulating these perspectives, Asaduddin Owaisi adds his voice to the ongoing discourse surrounding the Ram Mandir, urging a nuanced understanding of historical events and a focus on the pressing challenges facing the nation.
