What is important for those dealing with the security of the country, lust or country ? : Asaduddin Owaisi

Owaisi avoids answering if country is the 1st priority for Muslims or their religion

Hyderabad (Telangana) – For the first time in decades, there won’t be any Muslim officers in Intelligence Bureau’s senior leadership. It is a reflection of the suspicion with which BJP sees Muslims. IB & R&AW have become exclusive majoritarian institutions. You constantly demand proof of loyalty from Muslims, but never accept them as equal fellow citizens, tweeted MIM party President and MP Asaduddin Owaisi on 23rd July. He faced a lot of criticism against this tweet.

In response to the protest he tweeted, ‘What is important for those dealing with the security of the nation, lust or country ?’ From this, he has pointed out to the Hindu officer revealing confidential information to Pakistan falling prey to the lust.

Quoting Owaisi’s tweet, Kumar Vishwas asked the lawmaker to pledge that he will choose India over Islam and the Constitution over Quran when given the option.

“Muslims are asked what will they choose between their religion and the country,” the AIMIM chief said, in an obvious reference to the poet-politician’s remark. He further wrote, “Don’t know how many people are caught while selling the security (-related information) of the country, ISI creates fake accounts of women and traps them. Leave the religion aside, will anyone ask them what such people choose between their lust and the country ?”

Editorial viewpoint

India is ready to take action against those endangering the security of the country. Meanwhile, Owaisi has conveniently skipped answering if country is the 1st priority for Muslims.
