Owaisi takes jibe at PM Modi, says ‘uncle is telling when to get married’

While addressing at a public rally in Meerut on December 18, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over raising legal age of marriage for women and said, “the 'uncle' is telling when to get married.”

“Now the Centre has raised the legal age of marriage for women to 21. As per law, you can maintain sexual relations with a woman at the age of 18, but can't marry her at 18 years of age? What's PM Modi's problem with marriage? Now BJP will say Owaisi and Muslims don't talk for the benefit of women. Modi Ji, when did you become our uncle? 'Uncles' just sit around and ask questions, now, the 'uncle' is telling when to get married,” said Owaisi.
