The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi demanded that the central government bring out a law that would make calling Indian Muslim "Pakistani" a punishable offence.

The law should make the offence punishable by three years of imprisonment, Owaisi said while participating in the debate in the Lok Sabha on the motion of thanks to the President's Address.

He, however, also added that the Narendra Modi-led government would not bring such a bill in Parliament.

The AIMIM chief also termed triple talaq bill as "anti-women".
