AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi has voiced strong criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's gesture of sending a chadar to Ajmer Sharif Dargah. Owaisi argued that such symbolic acts are ineffective, as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its affiliates have been pursuing legal actions to challenge the existence of several mosques and dargahs nationwide.

Owaisi also accused the central government of being lenient towards China, highlighting recent developments in Ladakh. Furthermore, he condemned the administration in Sambhal for allegedly targeting a particular community, calling for justice without oppression.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, on behalf of PM Modi, offered the chadar at the Dargah, promoting a message of brotherhood and peace. Both Rijiju and BJP Minority Morcha National President, Jamal Siddiqui, reiterated Modi's call for unity during their religious visits.
