‘Matter would have settled…’: Assam Chief Minister on Owaisi’s brother threatening cop

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday lashed out at All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi’s brother, Akbaruddin Owaisi, for allegedly threatening a police officer in Hyderabad, saying that the matter would have been “settled within five minutes” in Assam.

Akbaruddin Owaisi allegedly threatened a police inspector who asked him to follow the model code of conduct for the assembly polls. Akbaruddin Owaisi was booked on Wednesday, news agency ANI reported.

Commenting on the incident, the Assam Chief Minister said, “If this had happened in Assam, the matter would have been settled within five minutes. Due to appeasement politics in Telangana, neither BRS nor Congress say anything…If you can openly threaten the police, then people will feel threatened.”

He also urged the Election Commission of India to “cancel” the candidature of Akbaruddin Owaisi. A senior police official informed that a case has been registered against Akbaruddin Owaisi.

“The case has been filed under section 353 (obstructing official duties) IPC and other relevant sections,” the police official said.

Reacting to the FIR registered against him, Akbaruddin said, “DCP and police are lying. Firstly, I have video footage of him (a police officer) coming onto the stage. If I give a speech after 10 pm, then the police can book me under the law. But obstructing a public meeting and saying that time is up is wrong. Police should not do this.”

Defending his brother, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi said that the official should not have intervened as “five minutes” were left for the campaign time to be over for the day.

Akbaruddin is in the fray from the Chandrayangutta constituency. The seat has been a stronghold of the AIMIM, with the party winning it in 2014 and 2018.

Telangana will go to the polls on November 30 and the counting of votes will take place on December 3.
