Hyderabad, 17th Feb. The first copies of the Constitution included a picture of Tipu Sultan; will the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) burn it as well, Asaduddin Owaisi of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) asked, while criticizing the BJP Karnataka chief’s statement on Tipu Sultan.

The AIMIM said, “The Karnataka BJP chief said that supporters of Tipu Sultan should be killed. I am taking the name of Tipu Sultan, what will you do?”

“Does PM Modi agree with his views? It is an open call for genocide. This is nothing but pure hatred,” he added.

He went on to say that the first copy of the Constitution included images of Rama, Lakshman, and Tipu Sultan.

“Those who made the Constitution loved the country much more than them (BJP). The first copy of the Constitution had pictures of Rama, Lakshman, Gautam Buddha, Akbar, Guru Nanak, Rani of Jhansi, and even Tipu Sultan. So, will the BJP burn it too,” Owaisi further said.

Owaisi also slammed BJP leader Bandi Sanjay for his remarks about the newly constructed state secretariat.

“Shouldn’t this be a matter of pride that a new state secretariat is being built in the state, which is even bigger than the Taj Mahal? It will help in bringing better governance. Why are you (BJP) talking about destroying it? Why can’t you ever talk about uniting? What will you achieve by this?” he said.

Earlier this month, BJP leader Bandi Sanjay stated that if the BJP is elected to power in the 2023 Assembly elections, it will demolish the domes of the newly-built state secretariat since they reflect Nizam culture.

The Telangana Secretariat Building will be inaugurated on February 17th.

Notably, Telangana Assembly elections are set to take place this year.
