Send Owaisi to Pakistan : Shiv Sena
Sena minister Ramdas Kadam raised this demand on Monday on the sidelines of the Budget Session of the state legislature.
"Owaisi doesn't deserve to stay in India because he does not respect the country that has given him so much. He should go to Pakistan or we will drive him out of this country," said Kadam.
He said there was no point in feeding such 'green serpents' in India. "I will ask the CM to inquire into this," he said, reacting to the speech Owaisi had made the day before on Sunday.
The BJP also responded quickly and initiated a probe into Owaisi's Sunday speech at Udgir near Latur.
The AIMIM chief was commenting on the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's demand that every Indian should chant 'Bharat mata ki jai'. "But I will never say 'Bharat mata ki jai' because the Indian constitution has not made this slogan mandatory. I will not chant the slogan even if they put a knife to my neck," Owaisi had declared.
In his speech, Owaisi also slammed the encounter of alleged LeT operative Ishrat Jahan and extended support to the families of Muslim youth who have either been killed in encounters or tried for alleged terror activities in Maharashtra.
Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar prayed that the Almighty Allah grant Owaisi some sense. "I have asked the Latur district administration to conduct a probe into Owaisi's speech. Nobody is entitled to make such statements in the name of freedom of speech."
