“Who are the Pandavas and Kauravas? Asked Asaduddin Owaisi
NEW DELHI : Actor-politician Rajinikanth whose praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Amit Shah earlier this week continues to draw criticism, has come up with a new description of the two leaders. “Master strategists” was his new label – meant to explain his earlier tag of “Krishna-Arjun”.
“PM Modi and Amit Shah are master strategists… One gives the plan, another executes,” Rajinikanth said today. Explaining it in the context of Kashmir, he said, “Kashmir is a home for terrorists and extremists. To impose curfew in Kashmir and to pass it in upper house first is a master strategy.”
“PM and Amit Shah are like Lord Krishna and Arjuna. But we don’t know who is Krishna and who is Arjuna,” the actor had said on Sunday, setting the opposition buzzing.
The ‘Mahabharata’ analogy was used by Superstar Rajinikanth while praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the decisions taken by the government for Kashmir.
Today, Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi had weighed in.
If PM and Amit Shah are Krishna and Arjuna, “Who are the Pandavas and Kauravas? Do you want another ‘Mahabharat’ in the country?” Mr Owaisi had questioned while addressing a gathering on Eid.
By referring to the five Pandava brothers who fought their evil cousins, the Kauravas, in the defining battle of the epic Mahabharata, the AIMIM chief said, “A Tamil Nadu actor called PM Modi and Amit Shah Krishna and Arjun for abrogating Article 370 from J&K. Then who are Pandavas and Kauravas in this situation? Do you want another ‘Mahabharat’ in the country.”

They only want to retain power. But I shall remind them that no one lives or rules for eternity.” However, Tamil Nadu Congress chief KS Alagiri had objected to the comparison made by Rajinikanth and said: “How can those who snatched away the rights of crores of people be Krishna and Arjuna? Dear Mr Rajinikanth, please read Mahabharat again, please go through it again properly.”
