Owaisi: Hijab-Clad Woman Can Be PM, Contrasts India's Constitution with Pakistan's

  • AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi stated India's Constitution allows any citizen to hold the highest office, hoping for a 'hijab-clad daughter' as future PM.
  • Speaking in Solapur, Maharashtra, Owaisi contrasted India's constitutional framework with Pakistan's, highlighting India's guarantee of equal opportunity.
  • He criticized rising hate against Muslims, asserting that such politics would not last and that love would eventually prevail.
  • BJP MP Anil Bonde called Owaisi's statements irresponsible, accusing him of presenting half-truths and alleging a demographic imbalance in India.
  • BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla challenged Owaisi to appoint a Pasmanda or hijab-wearing woman as AIMIM president first.

Why It Matters: Owaisi champions India's Constitution for equal opportunity, foreseeing a hijab-clad woman as PM, while facing BJP criticism.
