Asaduddin Owaisi Chants 'Jai Palestine' After Taking Oath As Lok Sabha MP, Later Defends It

Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM President and MP, recently took oath as a member of the 18th Lok Sabha, concluding with the words, "Jai Bhim, Jai Meem, Jai Telangana, Jai Palestine". His inclusion of "Jai Palestine" sparked political controversy, prompting Owaisi to issue a clarification. He defended his statement, asserting it was not unconstitutional and did not violate any norms. Owaisi emphasized that expressing solidarity with Palestine was within his rights and aligned with principles of justice and international solidarity. The incident underscores ongoing debates around free speech, political expression, and the intersection of domestic politics with global issues.
