'Haj Subsidy' Remarks : Shabbir Asks Assad To Apologize
Hyderabad: Congress leader Shabbir Ali said that by accepting the Sangh parivar backed BJP move to withdraw the Haj subsidy, the true colours of MIM chief Assaduddin Owaisi's has come to light.
Urging the state and central governments to not endorse the BJP governments move on Haj subsidy he demanded the MIM chief to withdraw his statement and extend unconditional apologies to the Muslim community.
He said today that the MIM chief whose income has spiraled from just Rs.8lakhs in 2004 to Rs.35lakhs in 2008 and Rs.4.5crore in 2014 (as per election affidavits) may well not require the Haj subsidy. But the Haj subsidy granted by the British in 1932 is a boon to poor Muslims and retired officials for one Haj pilgrimage in their life time.
He said it has been a long standing dream and conspiracy of the Sangh Parivar and the BJP to withdraw the Haj subsidy and it appears that the MIM chief has walked into their trap in his megalomaniac desire to expand the MIM in Maharashtra , Karnataka and other states by bagging non-secular vote banks.
It is time that Owaisi should realise that a rich person like him does not need the Haj subsidy, it is meant for the poor Muslims who live in his Charminar constituency . The rich persons like Owaisi brothers who went to Umra thrice a year and resided in posh hotels like Hilton , were now behaving like agents of Amith Shah and Modi.
