Owaisi's 'hijabi PM' pitch draws sharp criticism

PATNA: BJP-led NDA hit out at AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi over his remarks that a hijab-clad woman would one day become Prime Minister, triggering a sharp exchange over Constitution, religion and political power Saturday, reports Jai Narain Pandey. Union minister Giriraj Singh accused Owaisi of pursuing divisive ideas. “Owaisi has Ghazwa-e-Hind (conquest of India) in his mind. Whatever happened in the past because of Congress’s appeasement policy will not be allowed again. There will be no second Pakistan,” Singh said. Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma acknowledged constitutional provisions but asserted a civilisational view. “Constitutionally, there is no bar on anyone becoming the PM. But India is a Hindu nation and we strongly believe the PM will always be a Hindu,” the Assam CM said.
