AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi is back in the news after claiming that the RSS ‘is scared of his 2013 remark’.
The firebrand leader attacked the RSS in a rally in Karimnagar on Tuesday where he said: “"RSS can never even think of touching us. People only scare those who get scared easily and the world is scared of those who know how to scare people off."
He claimed that the RSS still hated him for his 2013 remarks and said: “You know why they hate me? Because they are yet to overcome the '15 minute' comment."
In 2013, Akbaruddin had controversially said: “We (Muslims) are 25 crore and they are 100 crore. Remove the police for just 15 minutes and see how the numbers turn out after that."
1. Muslims must defeat BJP

He also appealed to the Muslim community to defeat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state, even if AIMIM loses in the upcoming municipality election.
Addressing a public gathering on Tuesday, Owaisi said, "There was a time when Deputy Mayor of Nizamabad was from AIMIM, now BJP has an MP in Nizamabad. If you don't want AIMIM to win, it is okay, but defeat the BJP."
The AIMIM leader went on to say that BJP, who won Nizamabad parliamentary seat, may occupy the post of Mayor as well.
2. You must unite

In a clarion call to the Muslim community, Owaisi appealed to the audience to come together and stand strong, failing to do which BJP will win the municipality election, he said.
"I will not contest the election this time. But I want the blessings of people. I beg you to unite; don't be afraid of each other," Owaisi said.
3. BJP won four seats in Lok Sabha

BJP won four seats in this year's Lok Sabha elections out of the 17 at stake in Telangana, namely Secunderabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar and Adilabad.
