BJP Yuva Morcha State president N. Ramesh Naidu on Friday slammed All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi and his brother Akbaruddin Owaisi for ‘pursuing a divisive agenda’.
“The tone and tenor of the comments made by Asaduddin Owaisi and his brother Akbaruddin on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act are proof that the brothers are pursuing a divisive agenda, which poses a threat to national integrity,” Mr. Ramesh Naidu said.
In a press release, Mr. Naidu said that Mr. Asaduddin would claim to be a secularist while in Parliament but would spread communal hatred outside of it.
The participation of YSRCP, TDP and Congress leaders in the anti-CAA meetings and rallies involving the AIMIM would be construed as harbouring ill-will against the Hindus, Mr. Ramesh Naidu said.
“The YSRCP and TDP supported the CAA during a debate in Parliament but they have now taken a stand against it in public. This shows their double standards,” Mr. Naidu alleged. He questioned how people’s representatives who swore by the Constitution are now defying laws enacted by Parliament.
