In a recent development, Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), has sparked controversy with his remarks regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). On Monday (March 11, 2024), he openly criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for their stance on the issue. Through a post on the social media platform, he sarcastically remarked that members of these groups seem to have a penchant for queuing up with documents. Previously enamored by the term “chowkidar” (referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi), it appears they have now fallen for those wielding documents.
Reactions to AIMIM Chief’s Statement
Following the ex-MP’s post, users and followers weighed in with various responses. @tibzi_talks expressed that AIMIM is merely pursuing its own agenda. @DrMMohanGupta commented humorously, suggesting a mood of sarcasm. @the_mighty_mr opined that there is no greater curse than the Hindutva proponents.
Opposition Raises Questions on CAA Notification Timing
Asaduddin Owaisi’s statement comes amidst the announcement by the central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) 2019. This notification has stirred considerable controversy in the country, especially with the schedule for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections looming. Consequently, opposition parties have raised questions regarding this decision.
Political Statements on CAA
Leaders from various political parties have offered their perspectives on the CAA issue. Akhilesh Yadav, the president of the Samajwadi Party and former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, labeled the CAA rules notification as a ploy by the BJP to divert attention. Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi and the coordinator of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), claimed that the central government’s decision to issue the CAA notification is anti-national. He suggested that the electorate would respond to this in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Mayawati, the leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), stated that it would have been better to implement the CAA after dispelling doubts. Shashi Tharoor, a senior leader of the Congress party, condemned the CAA notification as a divisive step with communal motives.
