The war of words between Himanta Biswa Sarma and Asaduddin Owaisi over the latter’s ‘hijab-clad woman prime minister’ intensified on Sunday after the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief called the Assam chief minister a ‘tube light’ and said he has a ‘Pakistan-like mindset’. Speaking to reporters in Nagpur while campaigning for the Maharashtra municipal corporation elections, Owaisi said people like Sarma have failed to understand the Constitution’s spirit, adding that India does not belong to any one religion or a community, which is the beauty of the nation.
