The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president has alleged that Muslims are facing huge problems because ATMs in their areas are not working.
Accusing the central government of discriminating against the Muslim community, Owaisi said that adequate bank network was missing from Muslim areas.
“In many Muslim areas, banks are not present in the manner they should be. The proportion of loan distribution is also less (compared to other areas),” Owaisi said, after a meeting at Udgir in Latur district of Marathwada region on Monday.
“ATMs are not there. This is what is happening. People in the entire country are facing problems,” he said.
“ATMs in Muslim-dominated areas were not functioning. If a bank is open (in Muslim areas), it is declared ‘red zone’,” the MP from Hyderabad further said.
