Owaisi slams RSS chief on outreach to Muslims

Hyderabad: AIMIM president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday criticised RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat over attempts to distance Hindutva ideology from those who allegedly indulged in mob lynching of Muslims and other minorities.

“Cowardice, violence and murder are an integral part of Godse’s Hindutva thinking. The lynching of Muslims is also the result of this thinking,” Owaisi tweeted.



Addressing an event organised by Muslim Rashtriya Manch, the RSS chief said Muslims need not fear in India and if anyone says that Muslims should not stay in India, then he is not a Hindu.

In a series of tweets and retweets in Hindi and English, Owaisi referred to a number of violent attacks on Muslims by ‘gau rakshaks’ or cow vigilantes over the past few years.
