Himanta Biswa Sarma: India's PM Will Always Be Hindu, Responding to Owaisi's Hijabi PM Remark

  • Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma stated his belief that India's Prime Minister will always be a Hindu.
  • Sarma's remarks were a response to AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi's statement about a hijab-clad Muslim woman becoming PM.
  • Owaisi, speaking in Solapur, Maharashtra, expressed his dream of a hijab-clad woman leading India, citing constitutional eligibility.
  • Owaisi highlighted that the Indian Constitution allows any citizen, regardless of religion or attire, to become PM, unlike Pakistan's constitution.
  • Sarma acknowledged the Constitution doesn't bar anyone but asserted his belief in India as a Hindu civilization, implying a Hindu PM.

Why It Matters: Himanta Biswa Sarma believes India's PM will always be Hindu, contrasting with Owaisi's constitutional view.
