AIMIM leader and incumbent MP, Asaduddin Owaisi, has expressed his belief that there will come a time when a woman wearing a hijab will lead the country, although he may not be alive to witness it himself but “it will happen”. He also asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, despite turning 75, is unlikely to step down, emphasizing the importance of defeating him politically. Owaisi, who represents Hyderabad in the Lok Sabha, will face a crucial test on May 13 when voters in his constituency participate in the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.

“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,” he said when asked about India’s first Muslim prime minister during an interview with Hindustan Times.

Owaisi criticized PM Modi’s recent remarks regarding the Muslim community, stating that he was not surprised by them at all, as they align with the Prime Minister’s inherent beliefs. “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,” the Hyderabad MP said.

“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. A pack of lies. He has forgotten G20, Chandrayaan, 5 trillion economy, permanent Security Council seat, Vishwaguru, Viskit Bharat … all have gone to the dustbin. They have come back to the agenda that they started, which they will continue into the future,” he said to HT.

Owaisi’s Stance on Not Forming Alliance with INDIA Bloc

Owaisi further discussed his decision not to form alliances with other opposition parties. He mentioned that his candidate had proposed joining forces with the bloc, but their offer was never accepted.

When asked if fighting alone is filled with challenges, he said, “Doesn’t matter. Life itself is a challenge. And there’s no fun in life without a challenge. We will ensure that we’ll work hard and if people decide, inshallah, we’ll win. If not, we’ll be laying a strong foundation for the future for our party.”
Owaisi will compete against BJP’s Madhavi Lata in the battle for Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
