Union minister Giriraj Singh accused Owaisi of pursuing divisive ideas. “Owaisi has Ghazwa-e-Hind (conquest of India) in his mind. Whatever happened in the past because of Congress’s appeasement policy will not be allowed again. There will be no second Pakistan,” Singh said. ‘Hijab-Clad Woman As India’s PM’: Owaisi’s Remark Gets ‘Hindu Nation’ Retort From BJP’s Nitish Rane Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma acknowledged constitutional provisions but asserted a civilisational view. “Constitutionally, there is no bar on anyone becoming the PM.
