Akbar Owaisi Calls Sangh Parivar A Bachelors' Club

MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi on Monday described the Sangh Parivar as a "Bachelors' Club".

Addressing the MIM's 57th Revival Day celebrations at Darussalam, Owaisi strongly criticised the statement made by BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj asking Hindu families to produce four children each.

He said that most of the members of the Sangh Parivar do not get married, and despite being bachelors themselves, they were advising others to produce four children each.

Before giving such advice, he said, the Sangh Parivar leaders should guarantee jobs and education to those children.

"It sounds ridiculous when members of a bachelors' club ask others to produce more children," he said.

Akbaruddin Owaisi also criticised a recent GO issued by the central government permitting government employees to join the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He alleged that the RSS had played no role in the freedom movement, and on the contrary, its activists had worked in tandem with the Britishers.

He said that the RSS was also responsible for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.

Therefore, permitting government employees to join such an organisation was not good for the country, he said.

The MIM leader also announced that his party would expand to other territories and regions.

He said that the MIM would contest the forthcoming Assembly elections in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Karnataka and other states.

He said that the MIM's call for equal justice and opportunities for the Muslim community had been well-received, and that the party had been getting tremendous response from across the country.

He said that the MIM would take all communities, especially the Dalits, along.

Owaisi said that the MIM would establish an auditorium with a capacity of 4,500 people at Darussalam. Similarly, efforts were on to set up a law college and a political research Centre, and to expand the services of the Darussalam Bank in other parts of the country.

Interestingly, during his 90-minute long speech, Owaisi did not mention anything about the TRS government in Telangana. He neither praised nor criticised it.

Charminar MLA and MIM General Secretary Syed Ahmed Pasha Quadri welcomed the hundreds of party workers and leaders who had assembled on the occasion. The program started with the recitation of the Holy Quran by Ahsan Ali Ehtesham, and the Naat-e-Shareef by Md Shafi Quadri.

MIM legislators, ex-corporators and other leaders participated in the Formation Day celebrations.

MIM President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi could not participate as he was away in New Delhi to attend the ongoing budget session of Parliament. (INN)
