AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday slammed Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat over his statement that lynching is a “western construct” and should not be used in the Indian context to defame the country.

The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief said “the victims were Indians” and alleged that Bhagwat was not saying to stop lynching.

The victims were Indians. Who garlanded convicts? Who draped them in 🇮🇳? We’ve a Godse loving BJP MP.

There can’t be a bigger defamation of India than ideology that killed Gandhi/Tabrez. Bhagwat isn’t saying stop lynching, he’s saying ‘don’t call it that’https://t.co/hHsnH61PKA
