Partition a historical mistake: Owaisi
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday called the Partition of India “a historical mistake that should not have happened.” Owaisi was responding to a question from a reporter during a press conference on comments made by Samajwadi Party leader S.P. On local political issues, he accused the Congress of keeping “a door open” to join hands with the BJP in case the latter needs help. He said the appointment of A. Revanth Reddy as the Telangana Congress chief demonstrated how “Rahul Gandhi wants a door to remain open in case of bad times befalling the Congress.” He said “this is the reason why Rahul wanted a leader who came from the RSS and then the BJP to head Congress in Telangana.” On the Congress and the BJP each calling the MIM the B Team of the other, he said, “In entire Telangana, there is only one issue: B Team and Owaisi.” On accusations that MIM holds the government’s steering, Owaisi said “meri gaadi alag hai, unki gaadi unko mubarak. Panja kiske haath mein hai It is in the hands of a man who came from RSS and BJP.” Owaisi also extended an invitation to leaders who did not get party tickets to join the MIM.
