Owaisi Targets BJP, Questions Modi Over Inaction in Shoe Attack on CJI Gavai.
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday sharply criticized the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi after a suspended lawyer allegedly tried to hurl a shoe at Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai inside the Supreme Court. Owaisi accused the government of double standards and questioned why no criminal case had been registered against the accused, Rakesh Kishore.
In a post on X, Owaisi wrote, “Why hasn’t any case been filed against the person who targeted India’s second Dalit Chief Justice?” Speaking at a public event, he further lashed out at the BJP and the Prime Minister, saying, “Our Dalit brothers are watching this. People must realize that the BJP is not your ally, and Modi is not on your side. Imagine if the man’s name wasn’t Rakesh Kishore but Asad—what would have happened then? He would’ve been arrested immediately, accused of ISI links, and branded anti-national. Modi ji, isn’t your government answerable for this?”
