AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi took a dig at the BJP after Prime Minister Narendra Modi received Uzbekistans highest state honour, the Order of Oliy Darajali Dustlik. The award was presented by Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev during Modis two-day state visit to the Central Asian country. Reacting to the honour, Owaisi highlighted Uzbekistans historical connection with Babur, noting that the Mughal founder was born in the Fergana Valley, in present-day Uzbekistan. Owaisi congratulated the BJP and pointed out the irony of Modi being honoured by the country associated with Babur, whom the BJP and RSS have frequently criticised in political discourse. He said the Sangh Parivar should reflect on this and expressed hope that its members would no longer speak about Babur in the same manner. His remarks come amid continuing political debates over the Mughal period, Ayodhyas Ram temple and Indias history.
