On the other hand, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi slammed the 'mass radicalisation'. "What a shame. When your devotion & religious slogans only come out when Muslims peacefully practice their religion. When you become unexplainably angry at the mere sight of Muslims. What is this, if not mass radicalisation? This is the home state of Amit Shah & Narendra Modi, will they intervene to send a strong message? I am not holding my breath. Dr S Jaishankar, domestic anti-Muslim hatred is destroying India’s goodwill," said Owaisi.
