Lucknow: Hitting out at Pakistan over Hijab row, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi said, “Yeh Humare Ghar Ka Masla Hai, Tum Taang Mat Adao (This is our matter, you (Pakistan) don’t interfere in it).”
Addressing a poll rally in Uttar Pradesh, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi told the neighbours to mind their own business. Owaisi said that the country which could not protect Malala should not lecture India on girl education.
“Pakistan should not lecture India on girl education. Malala was shot there. They failed to provide security to their girls and are now lecturing India,” he said.
Owaisi’s remark came after Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said India was ‘violating Muslim girls’ human rights by depriving them of education.
“Depriving Muslim girls of education is a grave violation of fundamental human rights. To deny anyone this fundamental right & terrorise them for wearing a hijab is absolutely oppressive,” Shah Mahmood Qureshi said in a tweet.
“World must realise this is part of Indian state plan of ghettoisation of Muslims,” Qureshi added.
In a reply to the Pakistani FM, Owaisi said that the Karnataka hijab row was India’s internal issue and others should not interfere. “People of Pakistan should worry about their internal conflicts, no need to interfere in our issues,” he said.
