BIJAPUR: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has said that he wishes to see a woman wearing hijab as the Prime Minister of India one day. Asaduddin said this while talking to the media in Bijapur, Karnataka. He had come here to for campaigning in the Bijapur Municipal Corporation elections. AIMIM candidates are contesting in four wards here in the elections to be held on October 28. He also participated in the roadshow that was conducted as part of the election. Earlier in February, Asaduddin had called for Muslim women in Karnataka to wear hijab and burqa with courage.

At the same time, BJP hit out strongly against Asaduddin Owaisi's statement. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala asked whether a woman wearing hijab would be able to become the president of Asaduddin Owaisi's party.
