Owaisi lashes out at Cong and BJP

Sagardighi (Murshidabad): AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi called upon voters to 'reject' the Congress on grounds that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi opened the locks of Babri Masjid in 1985 and gave a call for 'Ram Rajya'.

Addressing a rally on Tuesday he said "Rajiv Gandhi opened the locks of Babri Masjid in 1985, resulting in a bloodbath later. The Congress paved the



way for the BJP". Calling Congress a friend of BJP, Owaisi said, Else, how could the Congress lend its support to Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray as chief minister of Maharashtra?"

"PM Modi has weakened the basic thread of our country - unity in diversity." Owaisi said. AIMIM has fielded three candidates in Murshidabad.
