flag AIMIM's Owaisi says a hijab-wearing woman could become India’s PM, sparking political debate.

flag AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said a woman wearing a hijab could one day become India’s prime minister, citing the Constitution’s guarantee of equal rights for all, unlike Pakistan’s restrictions. flag He made the remarks at a rally in Solapur ahead of Maharashtra’s civic polls, expressing hope for a future inclusive leadership despite acknowledging he may not live to see it. flag The BJP criticized the comment as irresponsible, with MP Anil Bonde claiming Muslim women do not want to wear hijabs and citing protests in Iran, while also urging Hindu unity. flag BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla challenged Owaisi to appoint a hijab-wearing woman or Pasmanda Muslim as AIMIM president. flag The exchange underscores ongoing political debates over religious identity, representation, and constitutional values in India.
