Mr. Owaisi said that until we get the feminine progress, we cannot become super power. If there is a danger to Muskaan and other girls in educational institutions then there is a danger for Owaisi also. There is a need to equal protection for all. Politics is not a business and no source of income. Majlis have records to help oppressed people in the political career. We will fight to help poor. Our efforts is to give equal rights to weaker section of the people. Every time Uttar Pradesh people give vote with fear. This time no need of fear. Need to try to stop BJP. It is our responsibility to stop BJP.

Commenting on Malala Yousufzai's tweet supporting hijab in schools, Owaisi said, "I would like to urge the Pakistani folk to not look this side. You have your own Balochistan fight going on among other many problems. This is India's internal matter, don't interfere. You don't understand Islam but we do".

Owaisi also got in touch with Muskan, the girl who was surrounded by some boys chanting 'Jai Sri Ram' wearing saffron scarves, while she wore a burkha. "Spoke to Muskan & her family on call. Prayed for her to remain steadfast in her commitment to education while also exercising her freedom of religion & choice. I conveyed that her act of fearlessness has become a source of courage for us all", Owaisi tweeted.

On Tuesday, he addressed a public rally in Sarai Tarin in UP, where he said, "I pray that our sisters fighting for their right to wear hijab are successful in their fight. Grave violations of the Constitution's Articles 15, 19 and 21 are being committed in Karnataka. I condemn this decision of Karnataka's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government,".
