Summary:
Bengaluru, Nov 23 (PTI) Condemning AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi"s "Shaheen Bagh" threat if the Citizenship Amendment Act was not withdrawn, BJP National General Secretary C T Ravi on Tuesday compared his mindset to that of Pakistan founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
"On observing Owaisi"s mentality, it comes across that there is no difference between Jinnah"s mentality and that of Owaisi," Ravi told reporters here.
"If he behaves like Kasab (Ajmal Kasab) or Bin Laden (Osama bin Laden), let me tell him that India has the capability to stop such violence," he said, as he called Owaisi"s statement as a threat, which is "anti-democratic" and against the Constitution.
While addressing a meeting in Barabanki on Sunday, Owaisi had demanded that the CAA and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) be withdrawn as well after the announcement on the repeal of the agri laws.
"The CAA is against the Constitution.
If the BJP government does not take back this law, we will come out on the streets and another Shaheen Bagh will come up here," the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader had said.
