All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Waris Pathan recently gave a speech which sparked a controversy. Due to this he had to face criticism and now FIR has been registered against Waris Pathan by Karnataka’s Kalaburagi police under sections 117 (abetting commission of an offence by the public), 153 (provocation with intent to cause riot) and 153A (promoting enmity between different groups) of the Indian Penal Code.
The AIMIM leader while addressing an event against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) said that, “We are just 15 crore, but we can be heavy on the 100 crore,” referring to the Muslim and Hindu population in the country, respectively.
“We have to go out and seek freedom together. We are those who are asking for freedom. If we don’t get it, we will snatch it! The time has come. They are saying, we are sending our sisters out, we are sending the women. Arre bhai, only the lionesses have come out, and your people are sweating. Imagine if we came out together,” Pathan said during the event.
