AIMIM Chief Owaisi Says Muslim Votes Wasted on Secular Parties, Calls for Shift

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has called for Muslims in India to build independent political leadership, arguing that their votes are being wasted on so-called secular parties. He said these parties have repeatedly failed to counter the BJP effectively, offering little in return for continued support. Owaisi stressed that it is time for Muslims to assert their own political voice and leadership rather than relying on alliances that, according to him, have not delivered results. His remarks are likely to reignite debate over representation, vote consolidation, and the future direction of minority politics in India.
