"Owaisi is an old friend of mine. As far as I know, he was Kshatriya Hindu earlier. He is a descendant of Lord Ram, not the one belonging to Iran," Times of India quoted Singh as saying.

Owasi has been vehemently slamming the BJP government over the hijab row that initially began in Karnataka, but has now reached other states as Muslim students have been protesting against the ban on using hijab on educational campuses.
