Wading into the debate on “intolerance” post Aamir Khan’s remarks, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday said that Muslims will not leave India under any circumstances as they are Indians “not only by birth but by choice.”
Mr Owaisi’s statement came against the backdrop of the storm created by the actor with his remarks and Assam governor P.B. Acharya’s reported remarks that Muslims are free to go to Pakistan or Bangladesh. He also said that Muslims will not “succumb” to the kind of politics being played by Sangh Parivar. Reacting to a query on Khan’s remarks on intolerance, Mr Owaisi said, “I cannot speak for a filmstar (Aamir Khan)... I can only speak as a proud Indian Muslim that... I will never succumb... We will not succumb to the dog whistle politics of Sangh Parivar and fascist organisations and their statements”.
