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.
The effort by Mohammed Siraj helped India equalise the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Will the Modi and Fadnavis governments appeal the judgement the way they swiftly demanded stay in the Mumbai train blasts acquittals, Owaisi asked.
He also lashed out at the government over the “accountability” of the Pahalgam terror attack, saying that the Centre should hold someone responsible – even if it is the lieutenant governor or police officials.

In a post on 'X', he claimed that the EC abruptly started the 'intensive revision' of electoral rolls right before a critical assembly election, shifting goalposts later
The plea alleged the AIMIM's declared objectives were to serve the Muslim community alone and hence it cannot be recognised as a political party.
Owaisi took strong objection to Rijiju's claim where he said India is the only country where the minorities get more benefits and protections than the majority community.
Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM, which has reached out to the RJD for an alliance, has announced candidates in two seats in Bihar and plans to field more candidates in the coming days.
The AIMIM sprang a surprise winning five of the 20 seats it contested in the 2020 elections. However, four of its MLAs defected to the RJD in 2022.
Owaisi equated Pakistani-backed terrorists with ISIS, stating that “there is no distinction between these Pakistani terrorists and the Islamic State in Syria.”
Owaisi has been chosen by the Centre to be part of one of the seven delegations that will travel abroad to expose Pakistan's links to terror.
