The MIM leader also lashed out at former PM P V Narasimha Rao alleging that he failed to stop the demolition of Babri mosque.
"The demolition of Babri mosque was not the pain of Muslims alone, it weakened the secular foundation of the nation. It was a classic case of goonda raj. It was the Centre's responsibility to protect the mosque and the Centre has given a commitment to the Supreme Court. That's why we consider P V Narasimha Rao responsible."
The MIM leader revealed how former Congress minister and film star Chiranjeevi offered to create a Union Territory for Hyderabad with a separate assembly.
He said: "Chiranjeevi spent all his life in Hyderabad, he bought properties there. I met him four times in Parliament and told him that Hyderabad should stay with Telangana as because of georgraphical contiguity.
"He told me we will create a separate assembly for Hyderabad, and you can come to power there. I told him, I am not buying that. Hyderabad has been with Telangana historically and geographically."
Owaisi made it clear that he had publicly appealed to Muslim youths not to support the jehad call from ISIS. "I told Muslim youths at Mecca Masjid that the right jihad would be to join parliamentary democracy, and work for the eradication of illiteracy and poverty among Muslims, instead of joining ISIS."
The MIM leader said: "India was, is and shall remain our country, God willing. Those in power should not view themselves as masters of our destiny. They may have got the power, but they should view everybody as one. India is the world's unique country.
"There is no other country where there are so many religions, cultures, festivals and languages. My fight is not against my country, God willing. India's diversity is its strength. Its pluralistic ethos is its soul".
Aap Ki Adalat with Asaduddin Owaisi will be telecast tonight (Saturday, Sept 20) at 10 pm on India TV and the repeat telecasts will be on Sunday (Sept 21) at 10 am and 10 pm.
