Hyderabad, Mar 3 (DHNS): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi asked his party to be ready to face an early Lok Sabha election while challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to dissolve Parliament and seek a fresh mandate.
"His four-year rule has not given anything except disappointment and the people are also waiting keenly for the elections to teach him and his party a lesson," Owaisi told a meeting marking the 60th anniversary of the formation of the party here on Friday.
Greeting Hindus on Holi festival, Owaisi said that all attempts to brand his party as anti-Hindu had failed and that every community stood with it, taking into account the hard work put in and honesty. "Sangh Parivar should know that saffron alone is not the colour of India. The beauty of India is that it emerges from the merger of all colours, be it saffron, green, white or black. All colours belong to India," he said.
After hoisting the AIMIM flag at the party headquarters Darussalam in Hyderabad, Owaisi said that the people of Telangana will wipe out the BJP and the Congress in the next elections. "Let the Prime Minister address ten meetings in the city. Still people across religions will ensure MIM's victory with a margin of more than two lakhs," he said. However, he praised TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao for the good he has done for Telangana.
Muslims' lone right
Defending the MIM's decision to contest elections in other states, he said participating in the democratic process was a right given by the Constitution and it was the only way in which Muslims could strive to secure their fundamental rights in the country.
AIMIM was revived as a political outfit by his grandfather Abdul Wahed Owaisi on March 2, 1958, amid turbulent times after the police action in Hyderabad.
