AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of going silent at a time when leaders of his party, the BJP, are "openly giving hate speeches".
Mr Owaisi, the Hyderabad MP who heads the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, referred to a hate speech by BJP MP Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma, who yesterday in a public address in Delhi called for "total boycott" of a community, seemingly Muslims.
