AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi expressed his dream of a hijab-clad woman becoming India's Prime Minister, citing the nation's constitution as inclusive. Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma countered, stating India is a Hindu nation and its PM will always be Hindu, though constitutionally anyone can hold the post. BJP leaders criticized Owaisi's remarks as irresponsible and presenting half-truths, with some suggesting Muslim women oppose the hijab. Owaisi retorted, questioning Sarma's understanding of the constitution.
