Asaduddin Owaisi takes swipe at Yogi Adityanath over ‘Qayamat’ remark on Babri Masjid

All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday (February 14, 2026) took a jibe at Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for using the word “qayamat” (doomsday) while asserting that the Babri Masjid would never be rebuilt.

In an interview with ANI, Mr. Owaisi said, “At least he had to speak an Urdu word, what would be a hindi word for ‘qayamat’. Ask him.”

His remarks come after CM Yogi Adityanath, while addressing a gathering in Barabanki, said, “The day of ‘Qayamat’ (doomsday) will never come, and hence the Babri structure will never be rebuilt. Those who are dreaming of the day of ‘Qayamat’ will rot away; that day will never come.”

Further, he denied any role in the no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and the motion against Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi.

“Neither was I asked nor did I sign the no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker…There is nothing in the privilege motion and nothing will happen,” Mr. Owaisi said.

A day earlier, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey moved a substantive motion in the Lok Sabha against Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, while the Congress submitted a notice of no-confidence against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
