Owaisi’s ‘Biwi Paglu’ Remark Turns BJP’s Rahul Gandhi Jibe Into a Marriage Joke
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi responded to the BJP’s “Anti-India Paglu” remark against Rahul Gandhi with a humorous comment about being devoted to his wife and family.
Owaisi’s ‘Biwi Paglu’ Remark Turns BJP’s Rahul Gandhi Jibe Into a Marriage Joke
Owaisi Biwi Paglu remark has drawn attention amid the political exchange between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, after AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi responded to the BJP’s “Anti-India Paglu” jibe with a humorous reference to his family life. Asked about the label used against Gandhi, Owaisi described himself as “Biwi Paglu” and said that being devoted to one’s wife was important for a peaceful life.
The remark offered a light-hearted turn to a political disagreement that has involved sharp exchanges between leaders. Instead of directly engaging with the BJP’s description of Gandhi, Owaisi turned the word “Paglu” into a joke about marriage and family.
What Owaisi Said About Being ‘Biwi Paglu’
Responding to a question about the BJP’s “Anti-India Paglu” remark against Rahul Gandhi, Owaisi said, “I am Biwi Paglu. I have a wife and children. If you want to live a peaceful life, trust me.”
He expanded on the comment by referring to his family, saying, “We are wife Paglu. Just don’t talk to him like that. Look, we have wives at home, MashaAllah, we have children; we are wife Paglu.”
Owaisi also repeated his advice about married life, saying, “We are telling you too, remember, if you want to live a peaceful life, then believe what we say.”
His comments framed the phrase as a humorous expression of affection and commitment towards one’s spouse. The AIMIM chief used the exchange to make a point about domestic life rather than extend the political argument over the label used for Gandhi.
BJP’s ‘Anti-India Paglu’ Jibe at Rahul Gandhi
The exchange began after the BJP used the phrase “Anti-India Paglu” to target Rahul Gandhi. When asked to react to the description, Owaisi chose a playful response, turning the word into “Biwi Paglu”.
The BJP’s remark and the reactions it prompted have added another episode to the ongoing war of words between political leaders. Owaisi’s answer stood out because it shifted the focus from the political insult to a personal, humorous observation about marriage.
The available account does not detail the circumstances in which the BJP first used the phrase or provide a fuller explanation of the party’s criticism of Gandhi. Owaisi’s response, however, was clearly directed at the wording of the jibe and the question put to him about it.
Earlier Uttar Pradesh Rally Remark Resurfaces
Owaisi’s latest comment also brought renewed attention to a speech he delivered at a rally in Uttar Pradesh in October. He had later shared a clip from the address on Instagram.
In that speech, the AIMIM chief took digs at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav. His remarks about being “wife Paglu” appeared as part of the wider political commentary during the rally.
The phrase has now resurfaced in a different context, following the BJP’s jibe at Gandhi. Owaisi’s response drew on the earlier line and gave it a fresh public moment, linking his remarks on family life with the current political exchange.
A Political Taunt Turned Into a Personal Quip
Owaisi’s “Biwi Paglu” comment attracted attention for its humorous delivery and its contrast with the sharper language being used in the political debate. While the BJP’s phrase was aimed at Rahul Gandhi, Owaisi recast the word as a joke about being devoted to one’s wife and maintaining peace at home.
The remark did not amount to a detailed response to the political criticism directed at Gandhi. Instead, it offered a brief, comic intervention in the exchange and revived a line from Owaisi’s earlier Uttar Pradesh speech.
The episode reflects how a phrase used in political sparring can become the centre of a separate public conversation. In this instance, Owaisi’s answer moved the spotlight away from the original insult and towards his humorous take on married life.
