“It is my dream that a day will come when a hijab-clad daughter will become the Prime Minister of this country,” he added.
Lok Sabha MP from the Hyderabad constituency, Asaduddin Owaisi, said that it is his dream that a “hijab-clad daughter” would rise to become the Prime Minister of India one day.
The President of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) made the statement on Friday (09 January 2026) while addressing an election meeting in Sholapur, Maharashtra. He said that under the Constitution of India, everyone, regardless of religion, is eligible to hold such a position.
Drawing a comparison between the Constitutions of India and Pakistan, Owaisi said, “The constitution of Pakistan clearly states that a person belonging to only one religion can become the Prime Minister of the country. Baba Sahib's constitution says that any citizen of India can become Prime Minister, CM, or mayor.”
“It is my dream that a day will come when a hijab-clad daughter will become the Prime Minister of this country,” he added.
