Want to ask if Modi govt is government of a particular community, religion: Owaisi in Lok Sabha
"I want to ask if Modi government is the government of a particular community, religion or the government of the entire country? Does Government of India have a religion? I believe that this country does not have a religion. Through 22nd January, does this government want to give a message that one religion triumphed over the other? What message do you give to the 17 crore Muslims in the country... Am I a spokesperson of Babar, Jinnah or Aurangzeb?... I respect Lord Ram but I hate Nathuram Godse because he killed the person whose last words were 'Hey Ram'...," Owaisi said.
