Owaisi filed FIR on CM Himanta's 'gun photo'
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi filed a police complaint against Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma regarding a video showing him allegedly urging violence against Muslims.
Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of AIMIM, has registered an official complaint with the Hyderabad police against Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The complaint is in response to a video that was posted by the Assam BJP on social media but has since been deleted. Owaisi accuses the Chief Minister of being depicted in the video as instigating violence against Muslims, which he describes as violent and incendiary. He is calling for criminal action against Sarma from the Hyderabad police commissioner.
Owaisi took to social media platform 'X' to share his concerns regarding the controversial video and emphasized the normalization of hate speech that incites genocide against certain communities. He highlighted the potential dangers of such inflammatory rhetoric and its implications for social harmony in a diverse nation like India. The original video, which has since been removed, was shared from the official Assam BJP handle, bringing attention to the party's approach to sensitive communal issues.
This incident has sparked significant political discourse regarding the responsibilities of public figures and the impact of their statements and actions on societal tensions. The deletion of the video indicates the BJP's acknowledgment of the backlash it received. Nevertheless, Owaisi's call for accountability raises questions about freedom of speech, political discourse, and the rising instances of targeted violence in India's political landscape.
