Taking serious objection to fire- brand BJPMP Navneet Rana’s comments, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy wanted the Election Commission of India (ECI) to book criminal cases and arrest her for making such remarks.
Participating in a party campaign programme in Hyderabad constituency on Wednesday, she had threatened AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi and his brother Akbaruddin Owaisi, saying that “if the police were removed from duty for 15 seconds, the brothers would not know from where they came and where they went”.
Strongly objecting to her remarks, the Chief Minister wanted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and union Home Minister Amit Shah to spell out their stand on the BJP leader’s comments.“Do you support her comments, if not suspend her from the party,” he said while addressing a public meeting at Saroornagar.
Appealing to the people not to fall prey to the BJP’s communal politics, he said the BJP was triggering communal differences and instigating people to derive political mileage.
Meanwhile, hitting back at BJP MP Navneet Ravi Rana’s provocative comments on him and his MLA brother Akbaruddin Owaisi, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi appealed people to defeat ‘RSS ideology’ and also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give the Amravati MP ‘an hour’ to counter them.
Owaisi said, “I tell Modi ji – give her 15 seconds. What will you do? Give her 15 seconds, give her 1 hour. We, too, want to see if you have any humanity left in you. Who is scared? We are ready…If someone is making an open call for it, then so be it, PM is yours; RSS is yours; everything is yours. Do it. Who is stopping you? Tell us where we have to come, we will be there. Do it…”.
“In 2014, Narendra Modi alighted at the home of Nawaz Sharif all of a sudden. What was that? They feel all Muslims in India are Pakistanis. We have to defeat this RSS ideology. They hate India’s pluralism and diversity,” he added.
