After RJD's Tejashwi Yadav called AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi an 'extremist', Owaisi in turn asked him, "Can you write extremist in English". "He calls me extremist because I follow my religion with pride," Owaisi added. On being asked as to why he didn't align with Owaisi for Bihar polls, Tejashwi had said, "Owaisi is an extremist, a fanatic and terrorist".
