AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has drawn a parallel between the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses during the Third Reich and the Apartheid practised by South African in the past with the decision of the Uttar Pradesh police to make it mandatory for the owners of food carts to put up their name on the board so that Kanwariyas do not buy food items from any Muslim shop owner.
The AIMIM chief had taken to social platform X to voice his objection to the decision of the UP Police. He wrote: “According to the order of Uttar Pradesh police now every food shop or cart owner will have to put his name on the board so that no Kanwariya buys anything from a Muslim shop by mistake. This was called Apartheid in South Africa and in Hitler’s Germany it was called ‘Judenboycott’(Judenboykott).”
