Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen, criticised Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on Saturday for "doing new drama" in the current dispute over surveys of madrasas and their demolition. Owaisi highlighted Mohan Bhagwat's visit to a Delhi madrasa as a dig at the "duality" of the RSS leader, reported news agency ANI. He made these comments following Bhagwat's visit to Azad Market Madrasa Tajweedul Quran in Old Delhi on September 22, where Bhagwat talked with the kids and offered them some advise.

"BJP-RSS is now doing a new drama. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat went to a madrasa in Delhi but madrasas are being demolished in Assam, a survey is being done in Uttar Pradesh," Owaisi said, quoted by the news agency.

The AIMIM chief also slammed the BJP and said, "BJP doesn't have anything to show. They will only show Hindus-Muslims fighting with each other." Owaisi's remarks came while addressing a public meeting in Ahmedabad. 

Earlier on September 22, the All India Muslim Imam organisation chief Umar Ilyasi said, "Mohan Bhagwat is the father of the nation and the head of the largest social organization. The chief talked to the children about what is taught inside the Madrasa." Bhagwat advised the kids to put their education first and strive for the country since they are the nation's future.

Mahmudul Hasan, director of the madrasa, told ANI that "The RSS chief stayed inside the Madrasa for about an hour and met the teacher and the children."

The RSS chief recently met with Imam Umair Ahmed Ilyasi, head of the All India Imam Sangathan, as part of a mission to improve ongoing communication with Muslim community. According to the report citing sources close to the RSS, topics covered at the conference included the Hijab controversy, Gyanvapi, and maintaining religious unity and peace. Along with Bhagwat, other senior RSS members who attended the conference were Krishna Gopal, Indresh Kumar, Ramlal, and Karish Kumar.
