TPCC dares MIM to expel Akbar from party
The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) ridiculed All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi for greatly proclaiming that his party had proved itself as a secular party by successfully fielding a Hindu candidate from the Puranapul division in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections.
Pooh poohs the claim of Asaduddin Owaisi that his party is secular
Hyderabad: The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) ridiculed All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi for greatly proclaiming that his party had proved itself as a secular party by successfully fielding a Hindu candidate from the Puranapul division in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) elections.
In a press note issued here on Saturday, TPCC official spokesperson G Niranjan said that the MIM supremo’s proclamation would be justified only if he expelled his foul-mouthed party leader and brother Syed Akabaruddin for his provocative and communal utterances. But Asaduddin Owaisi branding his party as secular just because his party fielded a Hindu against a Muslim candidate of Congress was ridiculous, Niranjan said.
The Congress leader pointed out that the MIM had been fielding Sunnam Rajmohan as its candidate strategically since the last three civic body elections because a handsome number of voters in that constituency belonged to Sunnam Rajmohan’s community.
The people would have agreed with Asaduddin that his party was a secular one had he fielded at least 10 to 15 Hindu candidates in the Muslim-dominated areas in the Old City, he added. Niranjan said that the citizens of Greater Hyderabad were aware of Owaisi brothers’ communal, provocative and hate speeches and their hatred towards the people of other religions.
He said Akbaruddin Owaisi’s heinous remarks against the women and men of other communities during his election meeting at Hafiz Baba Nagar on January 30 were a fatal blow to secularism. The Majlis supremo could justifiably proclaim his party as secular one only if he dared to expel his brother from the party, Niranjan stated.
