AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticised Elon Musk over his remarks questioning whether Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani was the “real boss of India.” Owaisi said that despite his opposition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he would not accept a foreign businessman undermining India’s Prime Minister or constitutional authority. He challenged the BJP to defend its nationalist principles against pressure from a powerful American billionaire. The controversy erupted after Musk accused influential business interests of obstructing Starlink’s entry into India. The government has denied favouritism, while Reliance says all satellite operators must meet identical regulatory requirements. (PC: PTI)
