No need to lift clothing, what is this Sanghi obsession with Muslim men & what’s under their clothing?https://t.co/Mjy35vHO8e — Asaduddin Owaisi (@asadowaisi) April 15, 2019 He further wrote, “Also, if you want to identify a Muslim, ask. No need to lift clothing, what is this Sanghi obsession with Muslim men & what’s under their clothing?”. According to the report published in The News Minute, Mr. Pillai had given the controversial statement at a public meeting held in Attingal where he was campaigning for BJP’s candidate Sobha Surendran. His remark was the reply to the opposition’s question on the number of people killed in the air strike. Referring to Balakot Air Strike, he said, “our Rahul Gandhi, Yechury, and Pinarayi wants our soldiers to count the number of people died along with their caste, religion etc”. Continuing his speech, he said, ‘if it is Islam, will there be any sign? If clothes are removed then only it can be known’ Referring to the opposition, he said, ‘they want these things to be done before returning’.
