Shiv Sena Wants AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi to Be Beheaded

An editorial in Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamana seeks “legal beheading” of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

The Shiv Sena on Thursday attacked All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi for his refusal to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai and said he should be beheaded.

This demand by the Shiv Sena is in reaction to Owaisi’s refusal to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai, even if there was a knife at his throat, during a rally in Latur region of Maharashtra on 14 March.

In an editorial piece on Thursday in the party’s mouthpiece Saamana after the Sena sought revocation of Owaisi’s citizenship. It read:

Even if his neck on a knife’s edge, Owaisi has refused to say Bharat Mata Ki Jai. Really, why just put a knife to the throats of people like these? They should be beheaded.

Owaisi had raised the issue after Mohan Bhagwat of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) said that the youth must be told to chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai earlier in March.

Legislators sitting on strike in Sindhudurg are beaten up by the police, but in the same state a person (Owaisi) making such seditious statement escapes scot free. The deplorable status of Muslims in India is primarily because of such thinking of persons like Owaisi. Bharat Mata Ki Jai is an inspiration to the people of this country.

After Owaisi’s remarks, an MLA of his party was suspended from the Maharashtra Assembly. The Sena has also to be revoked.

The piece also criticised Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for allowing Owaisi to move around freely and sneak out of Maharashtra despite making such statements.

Owaisi has insulted our Mother India. All the Muslims in the country should chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai to express their opposition to Owaisi’s ill-conceived views. Those who refuse, their citizenship and voting rights must be cancelled
