Hyderabad: Asaduddin Owaisi, the president of AIMIM, harshly criticised Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Saturday for remarks he allegedly made claiming that madrasas are teaching their students how to use AK-47 guns.

Speaking at a gathering held at the AIMIM headquarters here, Owaisi questioned the minister's deep-seated hatred towards Muslims.

"You have a disease of Islamophobia," he said.

Muslims made sacrifices during the freedom movement and Madrasas had issued 'fatwa' (notice) to fight against the British, Owaisi pointed out.

The Union MoS (Home) should go to Manipur where police weapons were taken away, he said.

Reiterating the charge that Muslims will be deprived of their properties with the proposed Waqf Amendment Bill, he said if 'waqf by user' is removed, anybody can claim the land in the absence of legal documents and ownership.

RSS-minded people refer to the Waqf board holding over nine lakh acres of land, but don't mention lands with Hindu endowment, he said.

The legislation is being made to "take away mosques of Kashi, Mathura from us. RSS says 30,000 mosques are ours, not of Muslims," he said.

Owaisi also took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating that he did not visit conflict-hit Manipur, but is attempting to stop the Russia-Ukraine war.

Owaisi wondered why Modi does not go to Manipur where violent incidents, including rapes against women, have been reported.

"Our Modi ji. What did he do? Manipur has been burning for almost a year. (He) sent NSA to Putin to stop Ukraine war, to Zelensky. Modi ji, there is fire in the house. Stop it. There is fire in the house but no worry about the house. (But) war should not take place in Ukraine," he said.
