Owaisi Criticizes Decision to Award Bharat Ratna to L.K. Advani

Mumbai's Maha Vikas Aghadi has yet to reach an agreement on seat-sharing for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The Shiv Sena and Congress are at odds over which party should contest specific seats. UBT Sena claims that they should contest on the same seats they won in 2019, while Congress is not willing to concede. Meanwhile, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi has made controversial comments criticizing the BJP's decision to confer Bharat Ratna on L K Advani, citing his involvement in the Babri Masjid demolition and the post-Godhra riots.
