Hyderabad AIMIM President Defends Brother’s Remarks Against Police Inspector during Campaign Event
Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) [India], November 22 (ANI): AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has defended the remarks made by his brother, Akbaruddin Owaisi, who recently threatened a police inspector and asked him to leave the spot during a campaign event. Asaduddin Owaisi stated that the police officer should not have intervened as there were only five minutes left for the campaign time to be over for the day. He further emphasized that campaign activities are allowed until 10 pm according to the law.
Speaking at a press conference, Asaduddin Owaisi expressed dissatisfaction with the official’s actions and questioned why he came to the podium when only five minutes remained. He stressed the importance of those few minutes for a speaker to deliver opening and concluding remarks. Asaduddin Owaisi also raised concerns about the behavior of the police inspector and called for an investigation by the Election Commission. He noted that he possessed a copy of the permission allowing the campaign activities.
The incident occurred when Akbaruddin Owaisi, who is contesting from the Chandrayangutta constituency, was addressing a campaign event in Lalitabagh, Hyderabad. A police inspector had requested him to adhere to the Model Code of Conduct, leading Akbaruddin to issue threats against the inspector if he obstructed his speech. The AIMIM leader confidently stated that he would address the remaining five minutes and warned the officer that his supporters would make him flee if given the signal.
The Chandrayangutta constituency has long been a stronghold of the AIMIM party, which won the seat in both 2014 and 2018. Telangana is set to hold assembly polls on November 30, with vote counting scheduled for December 3. The state anticipates a fiercely contested election among the ruling BRS party, the Congress party, and the BJP.
As this story unfolds, the action of Akbaruddin Owaisi and the defense provided by Asaduddin Owaisi have ignited a debate on the limits of campaign activities, the behavior of the police officials, and the role of the Election Commission in ensuring fair elections. These issues are of great interest to the general public as they seek transparent and lawful electoral processes.
In conclusion, the incident involving Akbaruddin Owaisi’s confrontation with the police inspector during a campaign event has raised questions regarding the boundaries of campaign activities and the conduct of law enforcement officials. AIMIM President, Asaduddin Owaisi, has defended his brother’s actions and called for an investigation by the Election Commission. As Telangana gears up for pending assembly polls, the incident adds another layer of complexity to an already intense political landscape.
