On Thursday (February 05, 2026), Dilip Jaiswal said on Asaduddin Owaisi’s statement, “What Asaduddin Owaisi is saying is the work of Owaisi and Congress. Both Owaisi Saheb and Congress are the same.”

He said, “The work of these people from the beginning is to keep the minorities and Muslims scared, that BJP will come and eat you whereas Narendra Modi ji’s only slogan is ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’, Hindu-Muslim, Sikh-Christian…”

Dilip Jaiswal further said, “If a road is built, do people of one religion go? If a hospital is built, do people of one religion go and get treatment? If a school is built in a village, do people of one religion go? This is the work of Owaisi and Congress. To scare Muslims and keep them separate from BJP by keeping them separate. To run their shops by keeping them separate.”

Need to take the country forward: Dilip Jaiswal

Responding to a question, the BJP leader said that from independence till today, efforts have been made to isolate the Muslims in the country by keeping them away from the BJP, whereas there is a need to take the Muslim brothers, Sikh brothers and all our brothers together to take the country forward.

What has Asaduddin Owaisi said?

In fact, Asaduddin Owaisi has said, “When the UGC regulation came out that there will be no discrimination against any minority child or child, backward or Dalit child, in the university, then a storm was created against it. They started having stomach pain. When the government could not save its regulation, the Supreme Court gave a stay. We are also telling our Dalit brothers that if the same attitude continues, then sooner or later they will join hands with the Sangh Parivar on the SC-ST Act also. People will ban this too.”

The Supreme Court has banned the new rules of UGC. On January 29, 2026, CJI Surya Kant put a stay and said that these rules can be misused. The court directed the central government to make the draft again. Petitioners’ lawyer Vineet Jindal expressed happiness after the decision and said, ‘CJI Surya Kant has praised our arguments.’

CJI Surya Kant justified the arguments: Jindal

Naveen Jindal said that this is a big victory for us. As we were talking about three issues. One of them is Section 3C, which is talking about caste discrimination and in that particular section, the general category has been excluded, while the other castes have been included. This section is giving a special message that the general caste has discriminated against SC, ST and OBC, whereas it is not so.

Naveen Jindal said, ‘CJI Surya Kant praised our argument. He specifically said that what we are saying is correct and if there are such sections, then it will definitely be very strict and discriminatory for the General caste. Changes should be made in this.

CJI Surya Kant suggested forming a special committee: Jindal

There is also mention of the Equity Committee, which has been formed under Section 18 of these new UGC rules. No special representation has been given for the general community in these special rules. The CJI also accepted our argument and suggested that a special committee should be formed which should include knowledgeable academics and social workers.

Why was there an uproar over the new rules of UGC?

The name of the new law of UGC is Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions Regulations 2026. Under this, many instructions were given to stop caste discrimination against SC, ST and OBC students in colleges and universities. In the new rules, instructions were given to form special committees, helplines and monitoring teams in colleges and universities. These teams will look into the complaints of SC, ST and OBC students. But upper caste students allege that UGC has adopted a non-inclusive definition of caste-based discrimination and this will create chaos in colleges. In the new rules, he has been made a ‘natural criminal’.

The Supreme Court has decided to keep the UGC regulation notified in 2012 in force for now. Reactions have come from Congress and Samajwadi Party regarding this. Both parties have called it a setback for the government and a victory for the constitutional role of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has ordered to keep the 2012 regulation in force for the time being in matters related to UGC. After this decision, political rhetoric has intensified. Opposition parties allege that the government was taking decisions that divided the society, which the Supreme Court stopped in time.

Government wants to mislead- Rajeev Rai

Samajwadi Party MP Rajiv Rai raised questions on the intentions of the government. He said, “The government wants to divert attention. It does not do any work which is for public welfare. If the policy and intentions of the government were right, this would not have happened.”

SP MP Pushpendra Saroj reacted to the introduction and subsequent roll back of UGC. He said, “Somewhere in the Constitution it was written earlier that there should be no anti-discrimination. But what we saw today has now been rolled back. I would like to tell the government that they themselves are confused as to whom they are standing with.” He said that Samajwadi Party stands strongly with the fight of PDA and the future decisions will also be seen from the same perspective.

Government sets fire – Pramod Tiwari

Along with this, Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Pramod Tiwari openly welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court. He said, “It is the duty of the government to extinguish any fire. But this organization of BJP creates struggle in the name of class, caste and religion. This was the effort. The Supreme Court recognized their intention, recognized their black act and has imposed a stay, so I thank the Supreme Court.”

Both Congress and Samajwadi Party say that this decision of the Supreme Court raises questions on the policies of the government. The opposition is calling it a victory for constitutional values ​​and equal rights, while the government is being accused of trying to divide the society.

Revolt has started in Bihar BJP regarding UGC Bill 2026. Party MLA Anil Singh from Hisua assembly of Nawada district has come forward openly. This is the first time in Bihar that an MLA from the ruling party, while still in power, has directly attacked the decisions of his party leaders and the central government. The question is how will Bihar BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi handle this?

While talking to ABP News on Wednesday (January 28, 2026), MLA Anil Singh clearly said that this UGC bill discriminates against the children of general category and upper caste. He alleged that there is a clear provision for complaint for SC/ST/OBC in the rules, but there is no protection or avenue of appeal for the general category. The old provision of taking action on wrong complaints was removed, due to which the risk of blackmailing has increased.

‘What kind of justice is this if we are discriminated against?’

The BJP MLA said that anger is natural, the government should immediately take cognizance and make amendments. He clearly said that no one should be discriminated against, but if we are discriminated against, what kind of justice is this? The BJP MLA said that the upper caste community is a strong vote bank of the BJP, but the Education Minister and the BJP members in the committee did not show seriousness.

warning of protest on the streets

In this whole matter, Anil Singh has warned that if necessary, he will take to the streets to protest and will not step back. He said that if a high-level committee is formed and amendments are not made to include all sections, it would be like sowing the seeds of division in the name of caste.

Now this issue has become a big challenge for BJP, because upper caste community is the core vote bank of the party. The question is whether this rebellion will create further divisions in BJP or will the government make amendments? Time will tell. This statement has come at a time when students and organizations of the upper caste community across the country are protesting against the UGC rules.

No sensitivity, differences will increase

Students involved in the protest said that the new rules were expected to increase sensitivity and mutual understanding on campus, but these rules could have the opposite effect. He believes that such policies will deepen the already existing social and educational differences.

The students demanded that the UGC should hold open talks with students, teachers and the university administration before implementing any new rules. He says that the rules made without understanding the ground reality will weaken the education system instead of strengthening it.

At present, the students have made it clear that if their demands are not heeded, then the movement can be further intensified in the coming days.
