Owaisi's 'Hijab PM' remark sparks 'Go to Karachi' retort from BJP's Nitish Rane
- •AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi stated his dream for a woman in hijab to become India's Prime Minister, citing India's inclusive Constitution.
- •Owaisi contrasted India's Constitution, framed by Babasaheb Ambedkar, with Pakistan's, which restricts top posts to a particular religion.
- •BJP leader Nitish Rane retorted, calling India a 'Hindu nation' and stating that women in hijab/burqa won't become PM or Mumbai Mayor.
- •Rane suggested those with such aspirations should go to 'Islamic countries, like Karachi,' asserting they have 'no place' in India.
- •AIMIM leader Waris Pathan defended Owaisi, emphasizing India's Constitution allows anyone to hold top positions and dismissed Rane's threats.
Why It Matters: Owaisi's vision of a Hijab-wearing PM ignited a fierce 'Hindu nation' and 'go to Karachi' response from BJP's Nitish Rane.
