Days after a Muslim youth in Gurugram's Mewat was forced to shave off his beard by goons, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi makes a strong remark on the incident. Owaisi said Muslims will die but will never convert. He also threatened the accused who shaved him off to covert to Islam and force them to grow a beard like Muslims.

“Muslim man’s beard was shaved off. Those who did it, I am telling them and their fathers, even if you slit our throat, we will be Muslims,” Asaduddin Owaisi was quoted as saying by Financial Express.

Owaisi also warned the foil attempt to intimidate Muslims will always unite them and threatened to those who shaved off Muslim man's beard in Gurugram. “We will convert you to Islam and will make you keep a beard," he added.
