Asaduddin Owaisi's fresh attack on the Prime Minister comes a week after Sharma's remarks kicked up a political storm and sparked a wave of protest across the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi should ask his childhood friend Abbas if BJP leader Nupur Sharma's remarks on Prophet Muhammad are objectionable or not, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has said.
Mr Owaisi's fresh attack on the Prime Minister comes a week after Sharma's remarks kicked up a political storm and sparked a wave of protest across the country.
In a blog post written to mark his mother Heeraben Modi's 99th birthday, the Prime Minister recalled his memories with Abbas.
"A close friend of my father used to stay in a nearby village. After his untimely death, my father brought his friend's son, Abbas, to our home. He stayed with us and completed his studies. Mother was as affectionate and caring towards Abbas just like she did for all of us siblings. Every year on Eid, she used to prepare his favourite dishes," he wrote.
