Solapur, Jan. 10 -- BJP leaders on Saturday slammed AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi's controversial statement that one day a hijab-clad daughter will become the Prime Minister of India, framing his statement as divisive or unrealistic.

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma responded to the statement, saying that even though it is constitutionally possible, India, being a Hindu nation, will see a Hindu person becoming the Prime Minister of the country.

"Constitutionally, there is no bar. Anyone can become the Prime Minister. But India is a Hindu nation, Hindu civilisation, and we will always believe, and we are extremely confident that the Indian Prime Minister will always be a Hindu person," he said, while speaking to the media.
