NEW DELHI: AIMIM chief
Asaduddin Owaisi
on Tuesday stirred a huge row by saying “
Jai Palestine
” while taking oath as Lok Sabha in the
parliament
.
The five time
Hyderabad MP
who defeated BJP’s Madhavi Latha ended his
oath taking
by saying, “Jai Bhim, Jai Palestine, Jai Telangana, and Allahu Akbar.”
The slogan raised by Owaisi did not go well with some MPs of the Lok Sabha sparking a large uproar.
Defending his remarks, Owaisi said the slogan he concluded his oath taking with did not violate any provisions in the Constitution.
“Everyone is saying a lot of things…I just said “Jai Bhim, Jai Meem, Jai Telangana, Jai Palestine”…How it is against, show the provision in the Constitution,” he asked.
Union minister G Kishan Reddy responding to the row said that Owaisi deliberately chose not to say “Bharat Mata ki Jai” and say “Jai Palestine,” which the BJP minister said went against the rules of the house.
“The slogan ‘Jai Palestine’ given by AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi in Parliament today is absolutely wrong. This is against the rules of the House. He does not say ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ while living in India… People should understand that he does unconstitutional work while living in the country,” he said.
“On one hand, he is taking an oath in the name of the Constitution and, on the other, giving a slogan against the Constitution. The real face of Owaisi is out. Every day, they raise issues against the country and the Constitution,” Reddy said.
Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju said, while India has no enmity with Palestine, it also needs to be checked if it was “appropriate” for a MP taking oath to conclude on a note of praising another country.
“We do not have any enmity with Palestine or any other country. While taking the oath is it proper for any member to raise the slogan praising another country…We will have to check the rules if it is appropriate,” he said.
Meanwhile, Owaisi said in a post on X that he would continue to raise issues of India’s marginalised with sincerity.
BJP MP’s “Jai Hindu Rashtra” remark
Even before the previous controversy settled down, BJP MP from Rae Bareli stirred another fresh row during his oath-taking ceremony by concluding with “Jai Hindu Rashtra, Jai Bharat,” provoking a significant uproar from the opposition in the house.
Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav strongly objected to the “Jai Hindu Rashtra” remark, arguing that it was against the values of the Constitution.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took his oath as Lok Sabha MP while holding a copy of the Constitution and concluded with “Jai Hind, Jai Samvidhan.”
