HT Evening Brief Aug 30: PM Modi gets Uzbekistan's highest state honour, Sooryavanshi becomes captain at 15
Owaisi congratulated Modi after Uzbekistan gave him its highest state honour and used the moment to criticise BJP and RSS references to Babur.
- On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi received Uzbekistan's highest state honour, the Order of "Oliy Darajali Dustlik," from President Shavkat Mirziyoyev during his two-day state visit.
- AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi congratulated Modi while noting the irony that Babur, whom the BJP frequently criticizes, originated from Uzbekistan, the very country conferring the award.
- "You used to hurl so many insults in Babur's name, yet the people of that very country are now honoring you with an award," Owaisi said, urging the Sangh Parivar to reconsider their approach.
- Owaisi alleged the RSS employs distinct messaging strategies, claiming "There is a distinct difference between the speeches they deliver for the outside world and those meant for their own members."
- Regarding RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Owaisi labeled his rhetoric an "old trick," claiming the organization will never retract its positions and alleging it did not participate in India's freedom struggle.
