Godse Was No.1 Hindu Ratna Terrorist: Owaisi

Pune: Nathuram Godse was 'No.1 Hindu Ratna Terrorist', All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi said.

Addressing a public meeting here on Sunday, he raked up the assassination of the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, by Nathuram Godse and dared anyone to serve to legal notice on his remark about Godse. Playing the victim card, Owaisi said that Muslims never tried to sell the country but were threatened and scared for the past 70 years. “We have been threatened for the past 70 years. But now we are not willing to get frightened. The most you can do is kill us, then do it. But if we live, we will live here and if we die, we will die here,” said Owaisi.

The AIMIM chief also said that Indian Muslims would neither go to Syria or Pakistan but live and die in the country. "Our forefathers have fought against the British and raised slogans of Hindustan Zindabad," he added. Referring to the controversial triple talaq bill, Owaisi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not a well-wisher of Muslim women but an enemy of the Muslim community.
