Owaisi Rebuts Modi’s ‘Healing Wounds’ Claim, Calls Dec. 6 a Blow to Constitution
He used the demolition anniversary to argue that constitutional norms were harmed, pointing to court-recognized violations alongside unchallenged acquittals.
Overview
- Speaking at AIMIM headquarters in Hyderabad, Asaduddin Owaisi rejected Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s portrayal of the Ram temple’s completion as healing “centuries-old wounds.”
- Owaisi cited the Supreme Court’s Ayodhya judgment to say there was no evidence that Babri Masjid was built after demolishing a temple.
