Lok Sabha MP and President of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday criticised Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leader Mohan Bhagwat for his remark in Chicago calling for Hindu’s unity. Mohan Bhagwat in a speech in Chicago had complained about sufferings of Hindus for thousands of years and had encouraged Hindus to come together and organise themselves. He had given an example saying, “If a lion is alone, wild dogs can invade and destroy him”.
“They (RSS) have their weird ideas to demean people by calling others dogs and assuming themselves as tigers. This has been the language of RSS for the last 90 years and I am not surprised. People of India will reject such crass and crude language,” said AIMIM chief Owaisi.

Asaduddin Owaisi asserted his annoyance at the RSS chief Bhagwat’s comment and said, the Indian Constitution defines everyone as humans.
“So who are dogs and who is the lion? The Indian Constitution defines everyone as humans and don’t treat them as dogs or lions. The problem with RSS is that they don’t believe in the Constitution,” said Owaisi.

Mohan Bhagwat was addressing a crowd of 2,500 delecates who had come to attend the second World Hindu Congress. He also said that the Hindus have no aspiration of dominance. Calling it difficult to bring Hindus together, he said, coming together of Hindus is in itself a difficult thing. Appreciating the sense of idealism, he said, “I am not anti-modern but a pro-future”.
