AYODHYA: Recent tweets by AIMIM chief and MP Asaduddin Owaisi have evoked sharp reaction from Muslims who have accused the leader of mixing religion with politics.
Using the phrase Insha’Allah (if God willing) in his tweet, Owaisi had said that he would not let Yogi Adityanath become the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh again.
“The word Insha’Allah means praying to the Almighty for something to happen. He just wants to create religious differences rather than doing honest politics,” secretary of Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation, Athar Hussain, said. “Owaisi is not concerned about the day-to-day problems of Muslims in Uttar Pradesh, he only comes to UP during elections and goes back to Hyderabad,” he added.
Co-Mutawalli of Teelay Waali Masjid in Lucknow, Maulana Wasif Hasan, asked what did Owaisi do in the matter of Barabanki mosque which was “illegally sealed and demolished”.
“Neither he raised the issue with the government nor conducted any legal proceedings to address the problem,” he added. “Whenever there is a rise in communal politics, the minority community suffers the most. Owaisi has sparked communal passion, we will face the consequences,” said Mohammad Alam, a religious scholar in Ayodhya.
