Addressing a rally, the AIMIM chief can be heard saying in the video, "I may not be alive to see it, but mark my words, one day a hijab-wearing girl will be the Prime Minister If our daughters decide and tell their parents they want to wear hijabs, their parents will support them. Let's see who can stop them."
