Asaduddin Owaisi, chief of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), has emphasized the need for Muslims to draw inspiration from Rajputs in responding to derogatory remarks made against their community. Owaisi’s comments came in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s use of terms like ‘infiltrators’ while addressing the issue. He urged Muslims to learn from the Rajput community’s unified response to similar statements made by Union Minister Parshottam Rupala. Owaisi criticized the Prime Minister’s repeated use of the term ‘jihadi’ and questioned its meaning. He condemned Modi’s remarks on Muslim women giving birth to more children and threats to Hindu women’s ‘mangalsutra’ as divisive and hateful.
