All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday urged Muslim community to vote for their candidates to keep to keep secularism alive.

"I want to tell you that if you want to keep secularism alive then fight for your rights, became a political power, vote for your (Muslim) candidates," Owaisi said.

The AIMIM chief also said that if Muslims become a political power, secularism and democracy will be strengthened.

Earlier on Saturday, speaking in Telangana on the recent acts of lynching in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur, Owaisi said that there is no dignity of life present in the atmosphere created by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

He took to social networking platform Twitter and said, "Rwanda is coming? Bloody shameful I hope the 'Political Maulanas' of 'Secular Political' parties wake up & stop preaching about ideas which are finished. This is (New) INDIA HasbunAllah Wa Namal Wakeel, Indian Muslims this is the Time to fight back and SAVE INDIA,"

He also blamed the Uttar Pradesh police for aiding the situation in the state, he said, "UP Police is not only complicit but also aiding the scary atmosphere."

Last week, another video of the Hapur lynching purportedly showing a mob beating up a man and forcing him to confess to having slaughtered a cow had gone viral on social media.

Samayuddin (65), one of the men who were allegedly brutally assaulted by the mob after a minor tiff with a man on a motorcycle, can be seen pleading to the attackers.

The mob can be heard asking him to identify others, who they alleged slaughtered a cow.

Another video had rocketed the Internet following the shocking incident in Bacheda village in UP on June 18. It showed a man with multiple injuries lying in a field.
