Congress national spokesperson Shama Mohamed launched a sharp political attack against All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi, criticizing his political rhetoric and motives, according to reporting by ANI News.
Addressing reporters, the Congress leader took direct aim at the Hyderabad parliamentarian, stating that he wants to make Pakistan inside India. The remarks mark a continued escalation in the ongoing political friction between the Indian National Congress and the AIMIM leadership over minority representation and national politics.
Criticism of AIMIM Leadership
According to reporting by ANI News, Mohamed strongly condemned Owaisi's political stance, suggesting that his rhetoric works against the unity of the nation. The Congress spokesperson targeted the AIMIM leader over his speeches and political maneuvering, framing his actions as divisive.
Congress leaders have frequently accused Owaisi of practicing identity-driven politics that ultimately aids the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party by dividing secular votes across multiple state elections and parliamentary contests. Mohamed's remarks reflect this broader strategy of challenging Owaisi's platform directly.
Broadening Political Friction
The verbal assault highlights the deep divide between the Congress and AIMIM. While Owaisi has consistently positioned his party as an independent voice advocating for Muslims and marginalized communities, traditional secular parties like the Congress argue that his aggressive messaging undermines communal harmony and democratic integration.
The public confrontation between Mohamed and Owaisi reflects heightened political contestation as parties clash over leadership, governance priorities, and minority rights across the country.
