The BJP on Sunday suspended its spokesperson Nupur Sharma from the party's primary membership after her alleged inflammatory remarks directed at Prophet Mohammad.
The All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has two members in the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly, which forms the electoral college for the Rajya Sabha polls, scheduled on June 10.
The BJP had on Sunday suspended its national spokesperson Nupur Sharma and expelled its Delhi media head Naveen Kumar Jindal as the row over their alleged derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad escalated.
Owaisi also questioned the assurances of ensuring peace and harmony in the country given by BJP chief Jagat Prakash Nadda and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
Owaisi claimed that India was formed after people migrated from Africa, Iran, Central Asia, and East Asia.
Asaduddin Owaisi said Muslims are not ready to lose another mosque after the Babri Masjid, on a day it was claimed in a Varanasi court that a Shivling was found in the Gyanvapi complex.
Owaisi, MLA from Chandrayangutta in Telangana, had recently offered prayers at the tomb of the 17th century Mughal emperor in Khuldabad in Maharashtra's Aurangabad district.
Owaisi's remarks came after a Varanasi court while hearing the matter on Thursday said that the survey inside the Gyanvapi mosque located next to the Kashi Vishwanath temple will continue and the report needs to be submitted by May 17.
Owaisi also slammed BJP for being silent over a provision of Goa's common civil code where Hindu man is allowed to marry twice.
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, addressing a huge Friday prayer gathering at the famous Mecca Masjid near Charminar, Hyderabad, became emotional and alleged that Muslims were being threatened, but they would not cow down and fight.
Bulldozers tore down several concrete and temporary structures close to a mosque in Jahangirpuri as part of an anti-encroachment drive by the BJP-ruled civic body, days after the northwest Delhi neighborhood was rocked by communal violence.
Clashes had broken out during a Hanuman Jayanti procession in Delhi's Jahangirpuri area on Saturday in which nine policemen and a civilian were injured.
Notably, on the instructions of CM, the district administration of Khargone and police demolished illegal buildings of miscreants involved in the attack on a Ram Navami procession.
Taking to Twitter, Owaisi also took a dig at PM Modi, alleging he wants ease of doing business for big industrialists.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray addressed the Shiv Sena leaders via video conferencing in the meeting today.
Owaisi's tweets came amidst reports that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi could visit India later this month. Sources said that the two sides could announce an agreement to settle the territorial disputes.
AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has said that he disagrees with Karnataka High Court's judgement that bans wearing Hijab by Muslim students inside the classroom.
The Karnataka HC today said that prescription of school uniform is only a reasonable restriction, constitutionally permissible which the students cannot object to.
Owaisi, whose party drew a blank in the UP polls, has said the AIMIM respects the people's verdict in the northern state and continues to make efforts to win people's confidence in the future.
While the hijab controversy refuses to die down, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has triggered a new row, saying no one can stop him from wearing a (skull) cap or keeping beard. In a video tweeted by Owaisi, the Hyderabad MP is heard saying,"...my daughter will wear hijab."
