Make anti-CAA rally resounding success: Asaduddin tells party workers


Majlis president, Asaduddin Owaisi, held consultations with party MLAs, MLCs and Corporators on Monday in connection with the anti CAA rally proposed to be taken out on January 10. He urged them to ensure that the rally was a resounding success and also absolutely peaceful. “All eyes are on the Majlis rally and it is your responsibility to make it success”, he told them.

Later addressing party workers at AIMIM’s headquarters at  Darussalam, he said it was originally planned to take out a rally through the city but police had denied permission and allowed the rally in the Rajendernagar police station limits,only. Therefore, the party had decided to organize a protest march from Mir Alam Idgah to Shashtaripuram on Friday under the banner of Mushtaraka Muttahada Majlise Amal (United Joint Action Committee), an umbrella group of various socio-religious organisations.

The Hyderabad MP appealed to people from across the city to join the rally in order to  send out a strong message against CAA and NPR/NRC. He asked Muslims to offer  Friday prayers closer to the Mir Alam Idgah so that they could be in time for the rally which is likely to   end by 5 p.m, Friday. Women were also welcome to take part in the rally as CAA was an issue which concerned all.

Barrister Asaduddin Owaisi  urged party workers to ensure that ambulances were given way during the rally and also people rushing in emergency were allowed to move freely. He further cautioned them to look out for trouble makers and alert the police if they see them.

Mr. Owaisi criticised the government for hiding the truth about CAA. In fact NPR and NRC were two sides of the same coin but neither the Prime Minister nor the Home Minister was telling it. He said India’s foundation was laid on secularism which meant that the country would not have any religion. But at the same time it would respect all faiths and even those who followed no faith.
