Moradabad (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 5 (ANI): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi slammed both Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress over the issue of alleged hate speeches delivered in 'dharma sansad' (religious council) in the states ruled by the two parties.
"Dharma sansad held Uttarakhand discussed eliminating Muslims. Similarly, dharma sansad held in Raipur also talked about eliminating Muslims. In Uttarakhand, BJP is in power and Congress in Chhattisgarh, but no action is being taken by the two governments against anyone," said Owaisi.

"People say I give provocative speeches, I do not give provocative speeches, I just provide the proof of being alive. If saving the Constitution falls under inflammatory speech, so we will keep talking like this," he added.
Owaisi made the comments on Tuesday while addressing a rally in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad.
