During a press conference in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, Asaduddin Owaisi (chief of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen) alleged that Muslims are being targeted under a 'planned agenda.' He linked the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process with the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR), stating that the Supreme Court mandated mapping, which could lead to discrimination against Muslims. Owaisi claimed that 97% of names verified through a recent application process belonged to Muslims, suggesting systemic bias. He also criticized the media's role in publicizing individuals' names before formal charges, citing the case of Nida Khan, and questioned the legality of possessing certain cultural items. Owaisi urged that the matter will be taken to court and highlighted the need for attention to victims of past communal violence, including the 1993 Bombay bombings and the 2008 Malegaon blasts. He asserted that the issues raised are not limited to Muslims but concern all citizens, calling for unity against discrimination.
