AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi. (Sonu Mehta/Hindustan Times via Getty Images)On Sunday (9 February) All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that those who stand up to Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and refuse to produce documents to prove his citizenship, are true warrior men, reports Republic TV.
He said that Jo Modi-Shah ke khilaaf awaaz uthayega woh sahi maayne mein “mard-e-mujahid keh layega.”
The word “Mujahid”, a singular for “Mujahideen”, literally means a Muslim man engaged in Jihad in the way of Allah and crusading in the cause of Islam.
In his speech Owaisi said, India is his home and he will not show his documents to prove his citizenship and continue to oppose NRC. He dared people to shoot at him and but in his heart he carried love for India in it.
