AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday defended ‘I Love Muhammad’ posters, saying those who are opposing it are “against love". He further questioned why similar messages celebrating other figures are accepted while those referencing the Prophet are being criticised.
Reacting to the ‘I love Mahadev’ campaign launched amid the ongoing poster row, Owaisi said, “It is very good."

“If there is a ‘I Love Mahadev’ group then what is the problem? What is anti-national here? What sort of violence this promotes? If the word is ‘Love’ then why is anyone having a problem?," Owaisi asked while addressing reporters in Bihar’s Purnea district.
In a lighthearted tone, the Hyderabad MP suggested playing the song “Mohabbat Zindabad" from the film Mughal-E-Azam for those objecting to the slogan.
The AIMIM Chief stated that if groups can put up banners reading “Happy Birthday Prime Minister," then there is no reason for an “I Love Prophet Muhammad" poster to be treated as problematic.
“I think we have to play the ‘Mohabbat Zindabad’ song from Mughal-E-Azam for these people… If there can be a ‘Happy Birthday PM Modi’ poster then why it can’t be ‘I Love Prophet Muhammad’ poster?," he added.
