Asaduddin Owaisi, the head of AIMIM, intensified his criticism of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday after it was revealed that the police there said the violence during Ram Navami was pre-planned and that this is why the state administration “was asleep.” This comes after the Hyderabad MP criticised the governments of Bihar and West Bengal for allowing processions during celebrations to spark violence on Ram Navami. “That was planned, as I had before said. Why were you folks asleep while everything was planned? That is the RJD-Nitish Kumar administration’s failure. They failed to successfully halt this violence, “He informed the local press. When a madrasa was set on fire in front of them, Owaisi said that the government had authorised a march and the police had stood by silently. “The administration has not yet discussed providing compensation when such severe violence occurs. These officers are not suspended by you, the Bihar government. Instead, you partake in “Iftar,” when you eat “khajur” (dates), “explained he.
He was responding to a question on claims made by Bihar police that the violence associated with Ram Navami, particularly in Nalanda, was pre-planned. When asked whether he approves of the Bihar police’s course of action, he responded negatively and said that Muslims are really being detained. He said that the people in Sasaram, Bihar, whose homes had been plundered during the fire, are being targeted. In conjunction with its investigation into the racial unrest that broke out in Bihar Sharif town in the Nalanda district during the Ram Navami celebrations, Bihar police detained five additional suspects on Sunday. On April 4, Owaisi accused the JD(U)-RJD administration in Bihar and the TMC administration in West Bengal of failing to put a stop to recent acts of violence during Ram Navami. Owaisi said that governments led by either the Congress or the BJP are two sides of the same coin in response to Congress leader Sachin Pilot’s announcement of an all-day fast to demand action on suspected corruption under the BJP’s tenure in Rajasthan.
“Both the BJP and the Congress governments are just two sides of the same coin. They both supported corruption. You see an ex-chief deputy minister is going to protest against his own administration because of this. What message does this convey? The perception is that neither the Congress nor the BJP are committed to (fighting) corruption “The MP for Hyderabad stated. In an indication of the escalating conflict within the BJP’s state unit ahead of the assembly elections later this year, Pilot claimed on Sunday that the Ashok Gehlot-led government failed to look into cases of alleged corruption during the BJP’s rule in Rajasthan and announced a one-day fast to press for action.
Owaisi showed the media his degree certificate after being questioned about the AAP’s “Degree Dikhao Campaign” (Show the degree campaign). The head of AIMIM did not directly respond to the subject of whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi should provide documentation of his education. The “Degree Dikhao Campaign,” under which party officials would daily disclose their educational backgrounds to the public, was begun by the AAP on Sunday.
