India’s First Muslim PM Will Be Hijab-Clad Woman: AIMIM Chief Owaisi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief Asaduddin Owaisi has claimed that India will have a Muslim woman wearing a hijab as the Prime Minister of the country.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Owaisi said, "Inshallah, it will be in the form of a woman wearing a hijab and heading this great nation. The time will come. Maybe I will not be alive to see that day, but it will happen inshallah."

When asked about the PM attacking Muslims in his speeches during the election campaigns, the AIMIM chief said that he is not surprised by it as it is in his "original DNA".

He said, "That's his original language. That's his originality-which is that they hate Muslims. That is the real Hindutva ideology. The Prime Minister has been consistently saying this from 2002, which made him the prime minister of this great nation twice, unfortunately. Anyway, people have decided. So he's gone back on his original agenda of spewing venom, creating divisions, creating suspicion about Muslims ... saying Muslim women give birth to more children, which is all rubbish and nonsense."

He criticised the PM saying that he has forgotten G20, Chandrayaan, 5 trillion economy, the permanent Security Council seat, 'Vishwaguru' and 'Viskit Bharat'. "All have gone to the dustbin," he added.

Owaisi further stated that the PM will not retire after 75 (the age rule implemented on the senior leaders like LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Yashwant Sinha).

He said, "So you're assuming Modi will leave after 75, is it? I don't think so. Modi will not leave. Modi will have to be defeated politically. This is my thinking."

Meanwhile, the stage is set for the fourth phase of voting in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. 96 seats will go for polls across 10 states on Monday.

Issues like reservations, appeasement politics, corruption and jobs dominated the battle of narratives in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
