Congress accuses Owaisi of becoming BJP mouthpiece

​Hyderabad: The Congress party on Friday has accused MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi of speaking in the tone of BJP and Sangh Parivar in criticising the meeting between AICC president Rahul Gandhi and AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.

 “Owaisi must clarify as to why he was angry over secular parties coming together to defeat communal BJP. Is it his hatred towards Congress party or love towards PM Modi that is making him give statements against formation of an anti-BJP front. Does he want all secular parties to remain divided to facilitate BJP retain power in next elections?” asked TPCC Minorities Department Chairman Shaik Abdullah Sohail.

Abdullah Sohail said it was strange that Owaisi was targeting Naidu on his broken friendship with the BJP, but not accepting the fact that KCR was still a friend and fan of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress leader also asked Owaisi to cite a single statement of KCR condemning Modi for mob lynching. 

“Owaisi must clarify  why MIM never held any protest against the killing of Muslim youth in fake encounters? Today Owaisi is shamelessly talking about encounters that happened 16 years ago. But why was he silent on Alair encounter ?” he asked.
