Owaisi Highlights Religious Bias Amid 'I Love Mohammad' Protests in Bareilly

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has voiced concerns over what he perceives as a religious bias in India, particularly in light of recent upheaval in Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly related to 'I Love Mohammad' posters.

Addressing a public meeting in Hyderabad, Owaisi remarked that while open declarations of admiration for political leaders like Narendra Modi are accepted, similar statements for religious figures face harsh objections. His comments highlight ongoing tensions following violent protests in Bareilly.

Owaisi condemned the recent violence and criticized law enforcement's conduct, urging for patience and adherence to legal processes. The situation led to arrests and internet shutdowns, underscoring escalating divisions in the region.
