New Delhi: A group of men threw ink and pasted pro-Israel posters at the Delhi residence of AIMIM chief and Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday, which led to the Hyderabad MP questioning Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla about the safety of parliamentarians.
Owaisi shared a video of ink smeared on the nameplate of his Delhi residence.
“Some “unknown miscreants” vandalised my house with black ink today. I have now lost count the number of times my Delhi residence has targeted. When I asked @DelhiPolice officials how this was happening right under their nose, they expressed helplessness,” Owaisi posted on X.
Owaisi, who retained his bastion of Hyderabad and won by a margin of more than 3.3 lakh votes from the Lok Sabha constituency, has been criticised by the BJP for expressing solidarity with Palestine while taking oath. His remarks were later expunged from the record of Lok Sabha.
“@AmitShah this is happening under your oversight. @ombirlakota, please tell us if MPs’ safety will be guaranteed or not. To the two-bit goons who keep targeting my house: this does not scare me. Stop this Savarkar-type cowardly behaviour and be men enough to face me. Do not scurry away after throwing some ink or pelting a few stones,” Owaisi posted on X after the incident on Thursday.
A group of five men had pasted posters outside the residence of Owaisi with lines such as ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, ‘I stand with Israel’ and ‘Owaisi should be suspended’ were written on the posters, reported PTI.
