Asaduddin Owaisi

"It is my dream that a day will come when a hijab-clad daughter will become the Prime Minister of this country," said AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

Asaduddin Owaisi contrasted India’s constitutional framework with Pakistan’s, arguing that India guarantees equal opportunity irrespective of religion.

Asaduddin Owaisi made these remarks while addressing an election meeting in Maharashtra's Solapur.

Asaduddin Owaisi’s remarks were aimed at questioning the Centre’s approach to bringing perpetrators of major terror attacks to justice, and came amid heightened political campaigning ahead of elections.

A fractured Muslim vote and the Mahagathbandhan’s inability to hold its core base turned Seemanchal into the clearest evidence of how the alliance tried and tested formula collapsed.

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday thanked the people of Bihar for ensuring the success of party’s candidates in five assembly constituencies and urged non-NDA parties to introspect.

Even though the RJD has managed leads only in 31 seats so far, its vote share (23%) in the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections went up slightly from the 22.6% it received in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, while the Congress’s vote share dropped from 9.4% in 2024 Lok Sabha elections to 7.9% in the current electoral contest.

In an interim order on September 15, the top court put on hold a few key provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.

As Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM eyes a comeback in Bihar's Seemanchal, RJD faces the potent threat of a split in Muslim votes — one that could determine Tejashwi Yadav's road to power.

I can't speak on behalf of Rahul Gandhi and his party. They are capable. I believe that if I have to defeat the BJP, the way the BJP fights elections, these people work 24 hours a day, says AIMIM chief.

The party claimed that it was aiming to build a "third alternative" in Bihar, where politics has, for years, been all about the BJP-led NDA and the Congress-RJD combine.

In his address, Owaisi accused the government of religious bias and questioned why no case was filed against the accused.

Owaisi said a Muslim’s faith is not complete until he loves Prophet Muhammad more than everything else in the world and wondered what message was the UP government sending to the world by objecting to this.

Without naming anyone, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi claimed an amendment to the waqf bill that a trust would not be a waqf, was brought in "to reward a person who had built his palatial palace on an orphanage".

The protest has been over the heinous Pahalgam attack earlier this year, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians.

The Vice Presidential election was necessitated by the mid-term resignation of Jagdeep Dhankhar, who vacated the post citing medical reasons. The Vice President is elected by an electoral college comprising members of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.

Owaisi's remarks came on a viral video with purported derogatory remarks against PM Modi and his mother at an INDIA bloc event in Darbhanga.

We are only there to show that these people are secular. And we are only good for holding iftar parties, taking a chadar of flowers to Ajmer Sharif. We have been reduced to this symbolism, says AIMIM chief.

Addressing the nation on Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded the RSS' role in nation-building in the 100 years since its formation.

Calling it "bullying by the buffoon-in-chief", Owaisi said the additional tariff will harm Indian exporters, small businesses and jobs.
