Owaisi takes 'name-changing' jibe at Budget's 'Halwa' ceremony

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday took a dig at the BJP for its "name changing spree". Referring to the customary 'Halwa ceremony' ahead of the presentation of the Union Budget, he said that the word 'Halwa' is an "Arabic" word. He asked that "Will you people start speaking in Arabic now and change the name of 'Halwa' ?" The Hyderabad MP added that he is not 'halwa' and called himself "red chilli".
