Breaking: Political Analysts React to Owaisi’s Holi Statement, Debate Over Mosque Covering Intensifies
AIMIM leader and MP Asaduddin Owaisi’s statement regarding mosques being covered during Holi has triggered a political debate, with analysts weighing in on the controversy. While Holi was celebrated peacefully across most parts of the country, Owaisi expressed his displeasure over the precautionary measure, calling those supporting it "cowards who should move to Pakistan."Political experts have given mixed reactions to his remarks. Some analysts argue that Owaisi is trying to create communal tension for political mileage, while others believe his concerns stem from the increasing politicization of religious practices. Meanwhile, opposition leaders have accused him of polarizing communities, whereas AIMIM supporters claim he is merely advocating for Muslim rights.Despite minor incidents, law enforcement ensured that Holi celebrations and prayers coexisted smoothly across states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Delhi. Authorities had coordinated with both communities to prevent clashes, but Owaisi’s remarks have added a new dimension to the political discourse, with leaders from various parties reacting strongly.
