Stop communal politics: Sakshi Maharaj's reaction to Owaisi's comment on Memon's death sentence
"This country is not run by Owasi, he (Memon) has been found guilty by courts not us. This politics of communalism should be stopped," Sakshi Maharaj said.
He also alleged that opposition parties were backing a terrorist while demanding action against External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
"Congress and these people want to save Yakub and want action against Sushma and others," he said.
Earlier in the day, Owaisi triggered a controversy, saying Yakub Memon is being executed because he is a Muslim.
The AIMIM chief pointed out that the assassins of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi haven't been awarded the same punishment.
Addressing a public gathering, Owaisi pointed that two major political parties in Tamil Nadu have been trying to prevent the execution of Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan, all convicted in Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
"If you are giving death sentence, give it all, don't target religion. This is also terrorism," said the AIMIM chief.
