How Asaduddin Owaisi Went From Political Loner To India Mascot In 3 Weeks

New Delhi:

On April 24, two days after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP took to X to protest against being left out of the all-party meeting the Centre called to brief all parties on its plans to respond to the heinous act of terror that left 26 innocents dead.

He said Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju had told him that the Centre planned to invite only parties with at least five MPs for the meeting. “This is not a BJP’s or another party’s internal meeting, it is an all party meeting to send a strong and united message against terrorism & those countries that harbour terrorists. Whether it is a party with 1 MP or a 100, they were both elected by Indians and deserve to be heard on such an important matter. This is not a political issue, it is a national issue. Everyone must be heard,” he said, urging the Prime Minister to invite parties with even one MP. Mr Owaisi is AIMIM’s lone MP.
