Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], November 24 (ANI): All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Chief, Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday lashed out at BJP Telangana president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar for his "surgical strike in Old City of Hyderabad".

"A BJP leader said that if they win elections then they'll conduct surgical strikes in the Old City to remove Pakistanis and Rohingyas . I want to ask the BJP on whom you will conduct surgical strikes. All those living here are citizens of India. I give you 24 hours to tell how many Pakistanis and Rohingya people live here?" Asaduddin Owaisi said.

Earlier in the day, the Telangana BJP President said that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and AIMIM were trying to win GHMC polls with Rohingyas, Pakistani and Afghanistani voters. "GHMC polls should be conducted without voters from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Rohingyas. We will conduct a surgical strike in Old City once we win the polls," Kumar said in an address while campaigning for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal corporation polls in Hyderabad.

Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) civic body polls will be held on December 1 and results will be declared after counting of votes on December 4. (ANI)

    A dozen Utah Republicans vying to replace Mitt Romney in the U.S. Senate are set to square off Saturday for the party nomination in a race expected to reveal the brand of political conservatism that most appeals to modern voters in the state. Romney has long been the face of the party's more moderate wing, and observers are closely watching whether voters select a successor whose politics align more with the retiring senator's or Utah’s other U.S. senator, conservative Mike Lee, who supports former President Donald Trump. The winner at Saturday’s state GOP convention, which tends to favor far-right candidates who appeal to the most zealous party members, may get a bump in the race.

    The Bank of Japan's (BOJ) decision to keep interest rates around zero didn't come as a surprise, and focus now turns to Governor Kazuo Ueda's press conference late on Friday for further clues on next steps. Markets had their eye on the central bank's bond-buying amounts, where any scaling back of its aggressive purchases would have been regarded as quantitative tightening that could offer some reprieve for the battered yen. Yet, the BOJ said it will keep buying government bonds based on guidance decided in March, even as it removed a reference to the amount of government bonds it has roughly committed to buying each month.
