Muslims Won't Just Lay Carpets, They Will Demand Equal Rights: AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi in Moradabad

During a public meeting in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi urged the Muslim community to step up their political leadership and ensure strong participation in the upcoming assembly elections, asserting that Muslims will no longer serve merely as a vote bank to lay carpets.

Key Highlights:
- Call for Political Empowerment: Owaisi stated that Muslims will demand equal rights rather than remaining confined to vote-bank politics, taking a direct dig at Akhilesh Yadav by asserting his intent to negotiate face-to-face for justice.
- Alliance Offer: To prevent the BJP from returning to power in Uttar Pradesh, Owaisi offered a pre-poll alliance with opposition parties, warning them to discuss terms before elections rather than regretting later.
- Local Issues Raised: He questioned the government over the preparation of lists targeting 36 mosques, madrasas, shrines, and graveyards by the revenue department in Thakurdwara, while criticizing the lack of medical infrastructure and smart city development in Moradabad.
