In another controversial statement, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader Akbaruddin Owaisi said “Muslims had ruled India for over 800 years” and it was the proof for them who are asking us for our documents, reported Times Now.

While addressing a public rally ahead of municipal elections in Telangana, Owaisi said, “There were signs of Muslim kingdoms in ever part of the country, which is the proof that India belongs to me (Muslims).”

He also went on to point out that the Muslim rulers had made several monuments in the country including Char Minar, Jama Masjid, and even Lal Qila “where India’s prime minister hoist the country’s flag on Independence Day

The MLA from Chandrayangutta in Telangana also made furious comments saying “If you want to see my papers, look at Char Minar which was made by my (Muslims’) ancestors, not yours.”
