All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday said that the BJP wants to oppress Muslims so that they are forced to pick up arms, and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of declaring a war on Indian Muslims.
Mr. Owaisi was speaking at the ‘Jalsa Youm-ul-Quran’ at Mecca Masjid on Jumat-Ul-Vida, the last Friday of Ramzan.
“The BJP wants to oppress and beat you so much that you are forced to take up arms. But what is our weapon? It is only these two hands of ours which will be used for dua ,” Mr. Owaisi said and added that former diplomat Shyam Saran had expressed apprehensions over the possibility of a handful from the community getting radicalised and its ramifications.
