"Jinnahs born again, Owaisi one of them": Giriraj Singh slams opposition
Union Minister Giriraj Singh launches a fierce attack on Owaisi and the Gandhi family over the SIR row and election integrity.
Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh has launched a blistering verbal assault on the opposition, targeting AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and the Gandhi family. During a recent interaction, Singh accused opposition leaders of undermining the Constitution and questioned their loyalty to the nation amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive.
"Owaisi is another form of Jinnah"
Addressing the concerns raised by the opposition regarding the Election Commission's SIR exercise, Singh did not mince words. He specifically singled out Asaduddin Owaisi, suggesting that the AIMIM leader represents a resurgence of old political ideologies.
"I keep saying that some Jinnahs have been born again. One of them is Owaisi," Singh told ANI. He further criticized Owaisi's stance against the SIR drive, questioning the legal and constitutional basis of the opposition's demands.
The Minister raised pointed questions regarding the vision of these leaders, asking:
- Will Sharia law be implemented in India?
- Do these leaders truly believe in the Constitution?
Attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Gandhi Family
The Union Minister also turned his attention to Rahul Gandhi, responding to allegations of "match-fixing" made by the Congress leader against the Election Commission. Singh dismissed these claims as a pattern of selective celebration and grievance.
"A person like Rahul Gandhi calls it a celebration when they win in Kerala or Himachal, but calls it vote theft when they lose," Singh remarked, suggesting that the opposition only accepts democratic outcomes when they are in favor.
In a significant escalation, Singh brought Sonia Gandhi into the fray, questioning her historical citizenship status. He suggested that the Gandhi family is actively conspiring against the country, asking why Sonia Gandhi did not acquire Indian citizenship for fifteen years.
"The son of the nation will rule"
Responding to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's demands regarding the legal protections afforded to the Chief Election Commissioner, Singh claimed the opposition's hostility stems from an inability to accept a Prime Minister from a humble background.
Singh argued that the Congress leadership is struggling to cope with the political shift in India, noting their numerous losses in both assembly and Lok Sabha elections. He stated:
- The Nehru family has held power for too long through their lineage.
- The opposition cannot accept Narendra Modi because he is the son of a poor man.
Dismissal of INDIA bloc meeting
Regarding the upcoming meeting of the INDIA bloc, Singh expressed total skepticism about its impact. He argued that the mandate provided by the voters is a constitutional victory that no alliance can overturn. He further criticized the opposition for what he described as a growing fashion of insulting individuals holding constitutional positions.
