BJP's Sudhanshu Trivedi and AIMIM's Asaduddin Owaisi attended India TV Budget Conclave

Speaking at India TV Budget Samvaad, Owaisi said hatred towards Muslims increased during the three years of BJP rule. "The kabristan, Pakistan language used by the prime minister is adding to negative rhetoric towards Muslims in the country. It is important to end hatred towards the community," he said.

BJP talks about helping minorities, but has no explanation on how they will do it?" asked Owaisi. You have ended Haj subsidy, but when it comes to making scholarship schemes demand-oriented then you pay no heed," Owaisi said.

BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi said the developmental schemes embedded in Union Budget 2018-19 do not discriminate on the basis of caste or religion.
