Asaduddin Owaisi has Hindu Brahmin ancestry? AIMIM leader 'amused' by claim

AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has reacted to social media claims that his great-grandfather was a Hindu Brahmin. Owaisi, who has faced similar ancestry claims before, said in a tweet that it amuses him that right-wing followers always find a Brahmin ancestor for him while talking about his lineage.

'It’s always amusing to me that even when they have to concoct a lineage, Sanghis have to find a Brahmin ancestor for me. We all have to answer for our own deeds,' he said.

Owaisi added that 'we are children of Adam and Hawa AS'.

He also addressed allegations of Hinduphobia and wrote, 'As for me, the democratic struggle for equal rights & citizenship of Muslims is a fight for modern India’s soul. It is not “Hinduphobia"'.
