Our fight is to save country: Owaisi

Hyderabad : AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday said the fight against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and (CAA) the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is the fight to save the country and its constitution.
Stating that this will be a long-drawn fight, the Hyderabad MP appealed to people to ensure peace for the struggle to succeed.
“Don’t resort to violence under any circumstances. This is what the enemy wants. Don’t fall into their trap,” he told a massive public meeting against CAA and NRC.
Owaisi said this was not a fight of Muslims alone. “There are Dalit, Scheduled Tribes and other in fight. A major part of country is with us,” he said slamming Modi government for what he called running the country on the basis of religion.
Thousands of people attended the public meeting organized by United Muslim Action Committed. The meeting began at All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) headquarters Darussalam on Saturday evening and continued till the early hours of Sunday.
Stating that Indian Muslims are Indians both by choice and by birth, he said they rejected two-nation theory of Mohammed Ali Jinnah.
