All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president and member of lok Sabha Asaduddin Owaisi said that the warrant issued against his younger brother and MIM floor leader in Telangana Assembly by the police in Bihar was aimed at preventing his party from contesting elections in Seemanchal region.
He was replying to a question by the reporters after the Bihar police issued a warrant following a FIR for Akbaruddin Owaisi’s alleged provocative speech. “We have not received the official copy of the FIR. Only after that we will proceed. Our legal team will deal with the issue,” he said.
Refusing to comment on the contents of Akbar’s reported speech in Kocha Dhaman Assembly constituency in Bihar, where the MIM State unit president Akhtarul Iman was in the fray, Asaduddin Owaisi said that this was a fact that 3,000 people were killed in Gujarat and the then Chief Minister failed to stop it. He also wanted to know why such warrants were not issued against the other leaders against whom FIRs were registered for making objectionable speeches.
Meanwhile, Asaduddin Owaisi has sanctioned Rs19 lakhs from his MP local Area Development fund for the installation of CCTV cameras in parts of Hyderabad lok Sabha constituency. He handed over a cheque to the assistant commissioner of police Rambhopal Reddy. The money would be utilised for the installation of cameras in Mangalhat division known to be communally sensitive. Speaking on the occasion Asaduddin hoped that the cameras will help in monitoring the anti-social elements who create trouble from time to time and also ensure in maintaining peace.
