All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday asserted that no one can touch the Indian Constitution as it is sacrosanct and the Supreme Court has already declared that the basic tenets cannot be changed.
“I am totally against the talk to change the Indian Constitution. Even the Vajpayee government, which had set up a Constitution review committee could not do anything. Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao also cannot do anything,” he affirmed, when asked why he has been quiet when KCR had openly pitched for a new Constitution..
Mr. Owaisi was speaking at the ‘Manthan Samvaad’, the annual flagship event organised by the public discourse forum, where he declared that he was open to any “uncomfortable” questions. He was quite combative when was asked about being called the ‘B’ team of BJP. “I am the ‘A’ team of the BJP! When Aam Admi Party (AAP) decides to fight the Gujarat Assembly elections, why is it not called the ‘B’ team of BJP? It is just because Kejriwal is a Hindu and I am a Muslim?” he countered.
