One can say ‘I love Modi’ but not ‘I love Mohammad’ in India: Asaduddin Owaisi over Bareilly unrest

Share
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has strongly criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in connection with the ongoing “I Love Muhammad” row. The Hyderabad MP said that while it is easy for people to say “I love Modi”, it has become difficult to say “I love Mohammad” in India. His remarks come amid heightened tension in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly, where protests over the “I Love Mohammad” posters turned violent last week. Internet services were suspended across four districts of the Bareilly division, with heavy police deployment on the ground during Dussehra festivities and Friday prayers.
