Attack on Akbaruddin: Govt Approaches SC

The Andhra Pradesh government has approached the Supreme Court seeking the cancellation of bail granted to Mohammed Bin Omer Yafai alias Mohammed Pahelwan and eight others allegedly involved in the attack on MIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi.

According to sources the final argument in this case would take place before the double bench comprising Justice B S Chauhan and Justice A Kheir on Friday. On April 30 last year the prime accused Mohammed Pahelwan and his family members allegedly carried out an attack on Akbaruddin Owaisi in the Barkas area. In September 2011 the state high court granted bail to the accused. In the appeal the government contended before the apex court that the accused would influence the witnesses in the case.

The persons whose bail was sought to be cancelled include Mohammed Pahelwan, Hasan Bin Omer yafai, Esa Bin Younus Yafai, Yahiya Bin Younus Yafai, Faisal Bin Ahmed, Fazal Bin Ahmed, Younus Bin Omer Yafai, Bahadur Ali Khan alias Munawar Iqbal and Awad Bin Younus Yafai.

Modi Is Not Our PM: Owaisi

MIM is a recognized state political party based in the Indian state of Telangana, with its head office in the old city of Hyderabad, which has its roots in the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen founded in 1927. Unlike most of the regional and national level parties, MIM party leaders ‘fight’ only for the well-being of Muslims, whereas no other party has such communal feelings. In their each and every speech, MIM leaders speak only about Muslims. If these leaders are here to fight for Muslims, then why there are no development works are happening in old city area for decades. Akbaruddin Owaisi faced criticism for making hate remarks on Narendra Modi and Hindus. Recently, his elder brother Asaduddin Owaisi made some notorious annotations. In a one-on-one debate between BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi on the topic of demonetization in a popular Hindi channel, the former left no stone unturned in exposing the latter’s communal designs. Owaisi claimed how most of the Muslim community still remains unbanked and that demonetization has caused severe inconvenience to Muslims. He even went on to say that ATM’s in Muslim-dominated areas weren’t fed enough money. He indirectly alleged that the Modi government hadn’t done anything for Muslims. Even after being pressurized Owaisi didn’t call Narendra Modi as his Prime Minister. He went on said, “Your Prime Minister…” On the other hand, Sambit spoke wisely and called Owaisi a leader of small stature because he talked only of Muslims. He said that no area was Muslim or Hindu and that all areas belonged to India. Owaisi was constantly quoting an RBI report, to which Sambit challenged him to show where the RBI had used the word ‘Muslim’. Sambit even said that if a Muslim leader speaks of Muslims it’s not an issue, but the moment a VHP leader speaks of Hindus people go crazy accusing them of imposing the Hindutva ideology. The most amazing of his counters was to Owaisi’s claims of Muslims not having been brought into the banking system. Sambit said that when banks or ATMs are to be opened in Muslim areas leaders like Owaisi shout that banking is un-Islamic and that Muslims should refrain from it! This video of debate between Sambit Patra and Asaduddin Owaisi is going viral in social media.
