AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, cautioning Dalit and backward class communities over what he described as the government`s failure to address caste-based discrimination.

Addressing a rally in Telangana`s Bhainsa, Owaisi criticised the Prime Minister for projecting himself as the "biggest backward class leader," while alleging that his government failed to stand by anti-discrimination measures in higher education. Referring to the University Grants Commission Regulations, 2026, Owaisi said the rules aimed at preventing discrimination in educational institutions were challenged in the Supreme Court and subsequently stayed.
