"Our basic aim is to stop the BJP from coming to power," Asaduddin Owaisi told PTI in Hyderabad.

MIM is a constituent of the UPA but Owaisi had been holding his cards close to his chest.

Owaisi said the stand has been taken after going into all aspects of the Indo-US nuclear deal "which is in no way against a particular community".

"Some parties are trying to bring division between Muslims and other communities on the issue, which is not acceptable," he said.
