All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Asaduddin Owaisi has publicly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the latter's recent visit to Uzbekistan. Owaisi’s remarks centered on the historical origins of the Mughal emperor Babur, who hailed from the region that is now Uzbekistan, drawing a parallel between the Prime Minister's diplomatic engagement and the historical figure's lineage.

The commentary highlights a recurring tension in Indian political discourse regarding the legacy of the Mughal Empire. By linking the Prime Minister's visit to the ancestral homeland of the founder of the Mughal dynasty, Owaisi has drawn attention to the intersection of contemporary foreign policy and historical narratives within domestic political debate.
