Digvijay’s bhagwat-owaisi photo tweet is an insult to muslims: mim

The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief reacted sharply to the tweet and called it an “insult of Muslims”, while Union Minister and BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said the Congress talking of

secularism was like “devil quoting scriptures”. > I fail to understand why Muslims are being insulted. My photo is > being shown with Mohan Bhagwat. My photo is not important. A Muslim

> is being shown as the other side of Bhagwat’s face. Is it not > communalism? I want to tell that Congress leader that I am not > important. I will go to the grave but do not 

insult the Muslims. > — ASADUDDIN OWAISI, MIM CHIEF On the other hand, Naidu slammed Singh for putting Bhagwat’s picture along with that of Owaisi’s, saying the Congress leader should not

be taken seriously as the people of the country have already rejected him and his party. > The friends of Congress included Muslim League. They tied up with > Owaisi. They (Congress) 

have no moral right to criticise BJP or > speak about secularism. It’s like the devil quoting the > scriptures. From Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale to Owaisi, all these are > creations 

of Congress. > — M VENKAIAH NAIDU, BJP LEADER He also accused Congress of promoting casteism, communalism and regionalism. In another tweet, Singh today condemned “laathicharge on saints”

in Varanasi during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit and asked the RSS and VHP to seek apology. “I strongly condemn the merciless lathicharge on sadhu saints of Varanasi during Prime

Minister Narendra Modi’s visit there. Sangh and VHP should seek public apology from saints,” he said on Twitter.
