Eversince MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said he will never chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' even when a knife is placed on his neck, tempers ran high. Congress and all other opposition parties which are generally against ruling BJP,joined hands together in Maharashtra assembly to suspend MIM party MLA Waris Pathan for refusing to say 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'.
While some muslim organisations came in support of Owaisi saying it is against the religious sentiments to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai and issued even fatwa against it, prominent celebrities like Javed Akthar, Shabana Azmi and others blasted Owasi.
Now muslims from Meerut blasted Owaisi for making controversial comments against the nation for political gains. prominent Muslim community leader Mohammad Imam and his supporters held a protest march at the Bachcha Park in Meerut critising Owaisi.
Imam and his supporters thenpierced their fingers to write Bharat Mata Ki Jai on India maps to shower their love to their country. He added “We are Indians and saying ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ is our responsibility.” and said “Saying Bharat Mata Ki Jai is equivalent to hailing the land, women, children, sisters and soldiers of India. The remark of Owaisi is completely anti-national and is not acceptable. The posters of Owaisi have BR Ambedkar’s pictures along with him. I would like to ask Owaisi: is this what Baba Ambedkar taught him?”
