Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking part in the Bhoomi Pujan at Ayodhya, and laid the foundation stone of Hindu Rashtra, said AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday. Modi attending the Bhoomi Pujan is a victory of Hindutva over secularism, it is the victory of majoritarianism over liberty and equality, he said.

By attending Bhoomi Pujan, Modi apart from laying the foundation stone for a temple, he has also laid the foundation of Hindu Rashtra which goes against the basic structure of the constitution, he added. Speaking to the media persons about the disputed sites in Kashi and Mathura, when question of faith arises, everything else takes a back seat, Owaisi said. The BJP will do that. As they have failed in reviewing the economy and controlling the spread of Covid- 19, they will turn this into their political agenda and poor in the country will continue to suffer.

He also said that PM Modi has violated the oath of office by laying the foundation stone. The PM in his speech said he is emotional. Owaisi equally emotional because I believe in co-existence and equality of citizenship, he said. He also questioned the presence of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat at the ceremony and held congress equally responsible for Babri Masjid demolition. The RSS Chief spoke about new India, BJP want to make country Hindu Rashtra and today you have started the process.

Congress is equally responsible for demolition of Babri Masjid, he said. The foundation laying ceremony has exposed the people who were until now wearing the mask of secularism, he said.
