Maintaining that the Congress’ legacy in Hyderabad was that of communal riots, Hyderabad parliamentarian Asaduddin Owaisi late on Sunday launched an attack on the party and dared Rahul Gandhi to contest from Hyderabad.
The All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader was speaking at the Jalsa Rahmatul lil Alameen, an annual public meeting ahead of Milad-un-Nabi, where he sought to compare the Bharat Rashtra Samithi’s work in Telangana with that of Congress-ruled states.
“I am telling your leader (Rahul Gandhi) to come here and not Wayanad. You make tall claims but come here and compete with a man who wears a sherwani and a beard and topi,” Mr Owaisi said, adding, “The communal riots in Hyderabad is the legacy of the Congress. The suffering of innocents is the legacy of the Congress.”
