War of Words Between Owaisi and Rijiju

A verbal clash broke out on Monday between AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju over the assertion that minorities in India receive more benefits and protection than the majority community. Owaisi criticized Rijiju, accusing him of acting like a monarch and labeled him the 'minister against minorities'.

Rijiju defended his stance, stating that minority communities in India receive more government support and funds compared to the majority community, emphasizing the government's commitment to inclusive growth.

The debate escalated with Owaisi highlighting the challenges faced by Indian Muslims, including cuts in scholarships and economic disparities. The exchange highlighted the ongoing tensions around minority rights in the country.
