Hope TMC Muslim faces praise Mamata Banerjee's take on RSS, says Owaisi
India Today
After West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee said 'RSS wasn't that bad earlier', AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi took a jibe at her. He tweeted 'Hope TMC Muslim faces will praise her for her honesty and consistency'.
All India Majilis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday took a swipe at West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over her recent remarks on Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). After Mamata Banerjee said 'RSS wasn't that bad earlier', the Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad fired potshots at the TMC supremo and said, "Hope TMC’s Muslim faces praise her for her honesty and consistency."
Addressing a press conference, Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said, "RSS wasn't that bad earlier. I don't think they (RSS) are that bad. Still, there are many good people in RSS and they don't support BJP. They will also break their silence one day," Banerjee said.
AIMIM chief recalled when Mamata Banerjee had heaped praise on RSS in 2003 and called the outfit 'patriots' and, in turn, RSS had called her 'Durga'.
Hitting out at the Bengal CM, Asaduddin Owaisi wrote on Twitter, "In 2003 too Mamata had called RSS “patriots”. In turn RSS had called her “Durga”. RSS wants Hindu Rashtra. Its history is full of anti-Muslim hate crime. She’d defended BJP govt in Parliament after Gujarat pogrom. Hope TMC’s “Muslim faces” praise her for her honesty & consistency." (sic)
