I strongly appeal to everyone, irrespective of which religion you belong to, please end this greed of dowry: Asaduddin Owaisi

AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi put out a strong statement against the dowry system in the country after the heartbreaking suicide of 23-year-old Ayesha Khan in Ahmedabad went viral.

Addressing the party cadre ahead of Telangana MLC polls here on Tuesday, Owaisi spoke about the case and how much it has affected him personally.

He said, “I strongly appeal to everyone, irrespective of which religion you belong to, please end this greed for dowry. Torturing and harassing women is not ‘mardaangi’. This poor girl was tortured for dowry which eventually led her to take her own life. The family should be ashamed for pushing her to take such a



drastic step.”

“What kind of men are these? Is there no humanity left in them? They beat up the women in their house and pretend to be good in the outside world. Do no d but you cannot cheat Allah.” he added.

He then appealed to the women of the country to not fear these men and take a stand with the help of our law.

He said, ” Never get scared, do not even think of taking your life. We are with you, your lives are valuable. If your father is in plight then so are we. Leave those men who torment you. Your life is long, kick these fools away with the help of the law. Do not live with them.”
