Navneet Rana vs Owaisi: Hitting back at BJP leader Navneet Ravi Rana's provocative comments on him and his MLA brother Akbaruddin Owaisi, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi appealed people to defeat 'RSS ideology' and also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give the Amravati MP 'an hour' to counter them. BJP's firebrand leader Navneet Ravi Rana while addressing a rally said, 'it would take us 15 seconds if the police were removed or made to stand down' and added, 'If you vote for AIMIM and Congress, it goes directly to Pakistan.'
Responding to the leader, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said, "I tell Modi ji - give her 15 seconds. What will you do? Give her 15 seconds, give her 1 hour. We, too, want to see if you have any humanity left in you. Who is scared? We are ready...If someone is making an open call for it, then so be it. PM is yours; RSS is yours; everything is yours. Do it. Who is stopping you? Tell us where we have to come, we will be there. Do it..." and added, "In 2014, Narendra Modi alighted at the home of Nawaz Sharif all of a sudden...What was that? They feel all Muslims in India are Pakistanis. We have to defeat this RSS ideology. They hate India's pluralism and diversity..."
Navneet Rana, referring to a provocative statement by AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi from 2013, issued a veiled warning to the Owaisi brothers in their stronghold Hyderabad saying “it would take us 15 seconds if the police were removed or made to stand down”. In the video, she was heard saying, "15 seconds police hata lo, dono ko pata nahin lagega ki wo kahan se aaya aur kidhar ko gaya."
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi, who is seeking re-election from Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency, is currently undertaking door-to-door canvassing in the Bahadurpura Assembly segment.
