Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Rana reiterated her veiled threat against All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leaders Asaduddin Owaisi and Akbaruddin Owaisi. She said that a senior Owaisi member (referring to Asaduddin) said, “I have suppressed the junior, my junior is like a field gun. I want to tell you that we keep such field guns outside our homes for decoration. The senior says, our junior is ferocious, such ferocious ones are kept inside our homes. Remember, I am also the daughter of a former soldier; I also want to see how long the hen and its chick can survive.”
