Owaisi asked all Muslims to be united while maintaining that his party would fight against "communal politics".
Without naming BJP leader Sakshi Maharaj who had said recently that every Hindu woman must produce four children to protect the religion, MIM's Floor Leader in Telangana Assembly Owaisi said that they should explain if there are sufficient resources to support the children in terms of providing them education and jobs.
"RSS says to produce four children in one family. If citizens are ready to produce not just four but 12 or 14, can you provide education, jobs, house and other facilities...They don't give jobs or education, they cannot even provide toilets, but they ask to produce four children," alleged Akbaruddin, the brother of Hyderabad MP and MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi.
"All Muslims should unite to fight for their rights. If they are not united, there is a probability that the identity of Muslims will be in danger," he warned.
Owaisi also said that his party was ready to spread its wings to other states like West Bengal, Bihar and Karnataka.
"MIM will work for the uplift of dalits and fight for their rights," he said.
He ridiculed Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifting a copy of 'Bhagwad Gita' to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during his visit there, saying that if Modi is secular he should have presented a book on Indian Constitution.
